In a world where monsters are both prey and power, two lovers hunt the things that should not exist.
Finn, an immortal who has lived for centuries, has long stopped searching for an end to his life-at least, not actively. Instead, he hunts for the thrill of it, for the company of his partner, and for the fleeting joy of feeling human beside her.
Serena, the last descendant of a wiped-out bloodline of magical artisans, can forge weapons from the corpses of monsters-drawing out their full power to create devastating artifacts known as Withers. Her brilliance and composure hide a single secret: she's quietly searching for a way to free Finn from his curse, even if that means ending him herself.
Together, the pair work under the Magical Containment Society, the organization that keeps monster hunting hidden from the public. But what begins as a routine mission-to investigate a supposedly docile creature that has suddenly slaughtered dozens of hunters-soon unravels into something far darker.
Across the continent, magical creatures are changing. Docile species turn violent. Ancient ones stir. The laws of life and death themselves begin to twist. As Finn and Serena dig deeper into the spreading corruption, they uncover threads tied to the fall of Serena's bloodline, the origins of Finn's immortality, and a truth that could upend the balance between mankind and the monsters they hunt.
Bound by love, death, and centuries of bloodshed, the two will have to decide what they're really fighting for - survival, freedom, or each other.
