The Affairs of Mortals

After the death of her abusive teacher, apprentice monster slayer Vero must take her first contract on her own. She's been hired to exorcise a baleful spirit which has possessed the mind of a minor earl and turned him against his feudal lord. However, there's more to this possession then there first appears... And more to her noble employer as well!

Vero is injured while removing the ghost and is cared for by Jean, the rich and handsome Marquis de Fer. She soon finds herself falling in love with Jean, but can she overcome the memories of her traumatic past to find happiness with him? And as she becomes more deeply entwined with the court politics that surround him- is there anyone she can truly trust?
