A vengeful monster hunter is forced to work with a charming monster in this addictive blend of horror and fantasy from R.R. Schaeffer.

In a world teeming with monsters and even more monstrous gods, Jierz lost everything to a creature that ate the minds of her family and friends and then puppeted their corpses for its own purpose. After three years working as a monster hunter, now she's ready to get her vengeance. But to hunt the creature down and kill it, she'll need to team up with the only other survivor from her home—a man who used to be her best friend, until she found out that he was a type of monster who'd been stealing and manipulating emotions, including hers. He's desperate to rekindle their friendship, and even if she's still angry at him, she believes she can use him to get revenge. Together, they're going to hunt down the creature that killed everyone from their home. But it's very easy for the hunter to become the hunted....
