The frontier’s shadows hid monsters. The guild hides something worse.
Velik left the frontier behind after finally destroying the source of the endless monsters that plagued it. But life in the Monster Hunters Guild isn’t the fresh start he imagined. People and politics bring a different set of challenges—and Velik has never been good at playing by the rules.
Even worse, the guild has a secret, one it’s willing to kill to protect. As Velik comes closer to uncovering the truth, what looks like coincidence might be calculated moves to erase him. And as the danger grows, old enemies stir in the shadows, hungry for revenge.
But Velik isn’t alone this time. With new allies on his side and new skills in his status, he’s ready to prove that it doesn’t matter whether his enemies bleed black or red.
If they stand in his way, he’ll cut them down all the same.
