River Bowstrong was what her friends would describe as 'over excited' for a seventeen-year-old. Her go-getter attitude always put a shine on everyone's faces, even when they were in the deepest and darkest place. She believed the world was amazing and every person she met was too; however, her family had a secret they kept in the dark. Unknown to her, she was born into a family of Demon Hunters - a family career set to banish the undead back to their graves and the deepest of Hell's caretakers back into their realm. River's parents had no intention of telling her the truth but always made sure she was prepared through all means necessary. River awakes one day to discover her parents dead at the foot of her bed, their bodies burned and barely recognisable. Soon to find the source of this carnage still at home, she discovers the family secret, putting her training to use and sending the famed souls back home. As she begins the descent of her new life, slowly losing herself to the slaughter and destruction she brings to those who hurt her family, she discovers she is not the only one set on banishing these monsters for good. Skylar Ambrose, a young girl who has been hunting these creatures herself teaches River how to become better before she sinks too far.
