The Hunter

Since her parents' death, Admaris has looked out for herself. And her sister. Even though this meant becoming a Hunter for Kazan, the evil overlord who overthrew the royal family ten years ago and who has every desire to hunt down every mage that opposes him.

Now, after being a Hunter for almost the entirety of Kazan's rule, things begin to shift. Kazan is orchestrating the hunts, and the mages that Admaris is sent after are more powerful and more prepared to fight back than her typical prey. And there's the rumors, like always, about a resistance led by the long thought dead princess. But this time, there's proof.

When Kazan's own daughter is led into an ambush when hunting down the princess, he sends Admaris. But not to capture her. To gain her trust and learn of the resistance's plans. Admaris obeys, as always, even as her life threatens to fall apart around her.

Her sister hates her, which she understands. Her closest friend is being overbearing, which she doesn't. And as she gets to know her targets, she does the one thing she hasn't allowed herself to do since becoming a Hunter. She empathises with them.

Suddenly, she struggles with her inner desires like never before. The desire to do what's right, and the desire to survive. When it came to protecting her sister, it was an easy choice.

Or was it?
