Acheron by Sherrilyn Kenyon (Dark-Hunter, Book 12)

To celebrate the US release of Acheron in mass market paperback, we’re running a week-long series of posts to get us up to speed on Dark-Hunter mythology and the characters that we should probably know about before reading Acheron. (Thanks to our resident guru on all things Dark-Hunter: Decadence.) These posts have no Acheron spoilers, but they do contain spoilers to previous books in the series. Acheron is out in mass market format on March 31.

The Dark-Hunters,  Alexion, Ash’s Army

“Let me give you the job description. Me, Dark-Hunter. You, Daimon. I hit, you bleed. I kill, you die.”
– Zarek
