Dark-Hunter
Sherrilyn Kenyon's Dark-Hunter novels are paranormal romance built on a sprawling mythology. The Dark-Hunters are immortal warriors who sold their souls to the goddess Artemis for a single act of vengeance and now spend eternity protecting humanity from soul-stealing predators. Each book pairs one of these tormented immortals with a partner who tests that bargain.
What sets the series apart from genre peers is scale. Kenyon weaves Greek deities, Atlantean gods, and her own invented pantheons into one continuity, so a standalone love story usually doubles as a chapter in a much larger cosmic war.
Titles like Night Pleasures, Dance with the Devil, and Dream-Hunter alternate steamy romance with genuine world-building, which is why the books reward readers who track the connective tissue rather than treating each as a one-off.
The Dark-Hunter franchise spans 6 books in the CrossBinge catalog.
