There are monsters out there. 16-year-old Gemma Armistead has grown up in Maris her whole life, thriving amongst the strange and unusual. Since she was small, she's been training to hunt in the Ancient Forest, and even after her father's death, she still continues to do what she loves. She doesn't know that what she thought was myth is true, not until she meets the human. When Gael Echeart is thrown into her life, he turns it upside down. He is a human in a community of the inhuman, and Gemma must try to protect him, even if it endangers herself. But when things seem to take a horrible turn, Gemma finds she must fight to save her nation before it and everything she loves crumbles to dust. --Please comment or vote if you enjoy, thanks!--

Okay keep walking. Breathe. He's not following you. He just happens to be going the same way as you. For the past ten blocks. I took this moment to glance at the man behind me. Our eyes connected and for a second I saw them shine before turning back to a deep dark grey. I had to admit I had never seen that color before and it intrigued me until I remembered that this was a possible Charles Manson psycho who wanted to kill me. I had been circling around my apartment for fifteen minutes now. I knew this man was following me and I didn't want to show him where I lived. I stopped at a corner to catch my breath and suddenly two large hands gripped my waist. I jumped in shock and my assailant chuckled. Oh lord this man is gonna kill me. "You can go home now. I already know where you live." The deep masculine voice tickled my ear and I felt my pulse roar out of control.
