The gods lost their way…but the mortals always walked the wrong path anyway. After tragically losing her family, Alya has finally found a new one in the form of the band of monster hunters she is a part of. A murderous immortal, a flirtatious heretic, her cat, and the charming guardsman who swept her off her feet—Alya would die for this group. Or better yet, kill for them. These few have been tasked to hold off the end of the world by defeating monsters, slaying undead, and hunting down a powerful vampire lord who already got away from them once. As rumors of the rising dead become more abundant, Alya can’t help feeling stretched thin. It doesn’t help matters that Conan seems to be keeping a secret from her, Zarynn is falling for someone entirely untrustworthy, and Ikor is worried that he will die if he comes to care for his companions. Alya started out this journey seeking revenge, but now she’s afraid of losing the only thing she has left. All the while the lives of innocents hang in the balance as the gods’ chosen heroes fail to show up. It might just be up to this ragtag group to save the world… or die trying. A mysterious beauty, a skeleton dragon, and a secret heritage… it isn’t enough to tear them apart, is it? A band of novice monster slayers go up against creatures that have not been seen for a thousand years in this adult high fantasy series set in the world of Ruskhazar. It is perfect for fans of Michael J. Sullivan, J.R.R. Tolkien, and the Witcher Saga.
