Marakahala is the only city in the region of Ardalhaya that managed to survive the dragon invasion one hundred and fifty years ago. Now the walls surrounding the city stand tall and strong, and the city gates haven't been opened ever since the reconstruction of Makarahala more than one century ago. For the safety of the city, nothing can come in, but that means nothing can come out either. The Hunters, an exclusive group of trained dragon slayers, make sure of that. Rabyah Daivari is tired of living in fear, confined in an ashy and ghostly city, constantly wondering about what lies at the other side of the stone walls, and decides to find out for herself. The problem is, the only people who can go out of Makarahala are the Hunters, and not anyone can get in the Hunt.
