Blurb: Elsie True lives with only one goal in mind … … to avenge her father’s death. Branded a traitor among the brotherhood of the Cause, an organization dedicated to the destruction of all magical creatures, her father was unjustly murdered for falling in love with a celestial being, leaving a teenage Elsie to learn the creature-hunting business with the help of her father’s old friend. Her life revolves around besting the Cause and keeping the world safe from any creatures that get out of hand. When her mentor signs her up for another case, she jumps at the opportunity to steer business away from the corrupt organization. Not long into the investigation, she realizes she might have walked right into a setup, including coming face-to-face with a creature she doesn’t know if she should kill or protect.

Her gaze roamed over the tall, lanky man, and she was hit by a hint of recognition as she took in the pointed ears and the double rows of tiny, triangular teeth that would’ve been more at home in a shark’s mouth. “Who the hell are you?” The man clasped his skeletal hands in front of him. Staring at his ovoid eyes was like peering into an unending well. Thalia’s description had made this creature no justice. Pick up this Exciting Tale! |
