Magic is risen. Three years have passed since magic destroyed the world. Those who remain struggle to survive the humanoid monsters called Howls roaming the streets. The Hunters fight back with steel and magic, doing their best to protect what remains of humanity. They have used their elemental magic to keep the Howls at bay, but it's never been enough to truly win the war. Humans are losing. Tenn is one such Hunter, fighting for everything he once had, and for everything that could still be. With other Hunters, including his longtime crush, Jarrett, he struggles to find balance in a world of chaos. But when Tenn falls prey to Tomas, one of the six original and strongest Howls in existence, he realises that there's more to fight for than survival. He's become the pawn in a bigger game -- one with potentially devastating consequences. And if he doesn't play his part, and discover the root of his power, it could mean the end of humanity.
