After her brother was murdered when they were just children, Sage Lycrart is on the hunt for her brother's killer - Raidan Suragi, who was once her brother's best friend and is now one of the notorious Shadow Soldiers. Five years have passed since that day, and Sage has become one of the best Soldiers for her age. Like hundreds of other Soldiers, Sage has sworn to protect her home city of Lion Crest but a chance encounter with Raidan will have Sage come face-to-face with criminals even more dangerous than the Shadow Soldiers, as well as the truth behind her brother's death. When the line between right and wrong is blurred, Sage will have one choice - duty or life? ***This is a rewrite of the original published novel.

Decades ago there were Hunters, people who inherited an ancient power gifted by the gods and who protected the world from the nightmarish creatures known as Reapers. But when the Anarchy Wars tore through the world creating fear and desperation, the world turned against Hunters and, one by one, their powers disappeared. Until now. Kaya Nebrae has been born with a Legacy, the same power Hunters once wielded. But while Reapers still stalk the streets, Kaya has no intention of using her power to fight them. She doesn't want to protect the world, and she certainly doesn't want the world to know she exists. So Kaya has carved a different life for herself, keeping her head down and her knives sharp, but when one of her jobs goes wrong Kaya will be thrown onto a new path, one that will force her to confront her fate - and the growing shadow that stalks her. ****complete
