"When you're in a place that darkness thrives, you learn to fear the light."

"Why?"

"Because the light will kill you faster."

------

For as long as she could remember, Wren has lived a rather unconventional life. She's hunted down trolls, bled out wraiths, slaughtered bloodthirsty spirits, and even beheaded a demon or two at the price of her own soul. She's been the tortured and torturer, the righteous and the wicked. And after two decades of this, she's tired. Just tired.

She needs one more contract to rid herself of the deal she'd ignorantly signed as a teenager . . . Only, there's a problem. The last mission she was on had left her with a curse on her heart and a target on her back. Not only must she be careful on deciding her last and final contract while her past races to catch up to her, but somehow, in the middle of hunting down manic, pain-driven monsters, she must also outrun the death god hell-bent on bringing her to justice.

For he has sworn, on his honor, to make her pay.

Wren Grayson was sixteen when her family was murdered by vampires. Left an orphan in a world she didn't even know existed, she turned to a local boarding school known for training hunters in a prestigious and rigorous training regimen. Determined to be the best, regardless of how many years she missed, she perseveres and ends up on top. Under the scrutiny of a very prestigious psychologist who doesn't buy her miraculous seven-year-long rocky road to recovery, she finds herself growing close to her savior. The reason she lived seven years ago. Chief Silas Mitchel. Hot, sculpted, lethal, intelligent, and the ideal eye candy for the entire campus- Wren finds herself falling head over heels for the one man who was supposed to ensure her safety. But, loving him proves that safety is obscure and puts both Wren and Chief Mitchel at risk for losing everything far before it even starts. Vampires are closing in looking for the Nightlock that Chief Mitchel has hidden within the walls of Briarwood, if they find them, it'll bring the vampires an endless power. What happens when news of the Nightlock finds Wren and the ultimate surprise becomes a realization that the race of Nightlock's isn't dead and everyone is at risk? With vampires pressing in and their plan that could destroy the world as they know it, it's up to Wren and her clan of misfit toys to save everyone. Even if it means sacrificing the cardinal rule- they come first. The civilians come first. In a race against time and a fight against friends and those who have become family, Wren finds herself in a battle that started ages before her birth. Finishing it is a long shot, but saving herself, her friends, and the greatest love of her life is worth every risk she's afraid to take.

32 parts Ongoing
When magical beasts cross into Japan through portals, magical huntresses (and some magical huntsmen) are there to slay them. Consisting of a group of teenagers and young adults working semi-independently under the guise of the Protection and Research Agency, they fight day in and day out for a variety of reasons, using special rings to transform and gain weapons to use in their battles, for which they get paid for each magical beast they kill and bonuses if they save anyone attacked by them. One particular magical huntress, the sword-swinging orphan Ruka Kishio, is asked to join a small group of these hunters led by the charismatic Hana Miyashita, who herself wields a katana and is descended from former nobility, after Hana sees Ruka easily kill a beast by herself while on lunch break from school. Ruka, a girl with a troubled and at times traumatic past who usually fought alone, accepts after barely losing a sword duel to Hana. She soon finds herself bonding with the other members of the Fox Knights, in particular their second-in-command and only boy Yoshiro Arikawa despite the two of them frequently arguing, and she also finds herself becoming its third-in-command and primary trainer as they battle magical beast after magical beast. However, Hana has deeper ambitions to restore the honor of her family name, and she aspires to attain power by any means necessary. Can Ruka help Hana with her dreams, or will she be swept up in them?

41 parts Complete Mature
Obsession is the height of passion, but what does one do when they find themselves enthralled with their enemy. Talamayas Sol loses his mother when he stumbles upon a mage in the deserts of his territory, and he is plunged into a despair he's never known. Stricken with grief, he imprisons the murderer and wipes out every last mage of the Song-a human supremacist mage family that had murdered his kind for nothing more than the joy of their extinction. Through his pain, Talamayas finds himself leaning on the man in his dungeons, be it only to torture him for the relief it grants. It was anger at first, but as he learns more about the circumstances of his mother's death and the terrors that fill Wren Song's nightmares, he is inescapably tethered to the man in his dungeons. Why can't he just kill Wren Song and move on with his life? What keeps him close to the mage and anxious when he leaves his side? Is there more to it than obsession and a need to crush the enemy of his past? If there is, what does that mean for him and his people? Take a step back to the start and follow Talamayas Sol and Wren song through their struggle in the deserts of the east. Learn just where their animosity began and how working together changes and shapes the hearts and minds of men grown in a time when violence was the only way forward.
