"Do you understand how I could hurt you? I don't think you realise-"
"I don't. I really don't. I can't think of anything worse than what has already happened."
*
The demon hunter, Miss Fén, has been called to save a town from the hundred-year scourge of a vengeful ghost. But things are certainly not what they seem and this initially simple-looking job becomes a saga of intrigue, from a little village to the highest realms of power.
When they discover that both she and the 'ghost' have been betrayed by the same person, how will they take their revenge?
