Soul of a Hunter is the fifth book of the Heart and Soul Romance series. This series features the Reeka, a warrior race of amazon-like women who have been wrongfully accused of killing their men and are trying to regain their reputation and homeland, as well as their allies the Daaamen traders. In the previous books, Reeka sisters Tenia and Reye gathered their fellow Reeka sisters, found the true murderers of the Reeka Men, began repairing their race's reputation, and were trying to deal with the past and the present. The Daamen men, on the other hand have been dealing with their new Reeka kin.
Soul of a Hunter focuses on Sabra, a Daamen by birth and Tenia's cousin by marriage. Sabra has been living in the outlaw quarter as Cormac's bounty hunter protégée. The young girl has been tracking down and killing those outlaws responsible for the murder of her father, mother, and their Daamen crew. Things get a more complicated for Sabra when she stumbles into the Daamen trader Cam and he takes her back to her original homeland.
Soul of a Hunter is romance story about healing and finding one's path in the wake of adversity. Like the rest of the books in this series, the female characters are strong, stubborn, and humanly flawed, perhaps even more realistic in this book than in the others of this series. Also like the other books in the Heart and Soul series, Soul of a Hunter is fully self-contained. Therefore, one can read this book without having read the first four books. Nonetheless, reading the first four books in this series will give the reader more information on the collective personality traits and historical background of the various cultures described in the book.
