When I was a kid, my parents were sacrificed by a necromancer.

I survived. Barely.

Now, I find myself possessed by a ghostly knight and living in a world beset by monsters and magic.
What is a college student do?

Hunt monsters, of course!

But the world of Hope City monster hunting isn’t so simple. Necromancers rule the streets, vampires run nightclubs, and a primordial titan lives under Table Mountain.

I’m going to need every bit of skill, courage, and dumb luck that I can manage to survive. But if life after the Cataclysm has taught me anything: if you don’t hunt, you become the hunted.

My name is Kat Drummond, and I’m a Part-Time Monster Hunter.

It was everywhere you turned: internet, radio, television, even conversations at work. It was everywhere.”

Dr. Franz Oleum and Dr. Jessup Hinkle used to be ordinary scientists; the kind who wear white coats and work in some nameless lab making tons of money by doing a boring job few people can fully comprehend. But then, sequencing the human genome led to cancer research which led to a chance discovery foreshadowing… the end of humanity.

Despite being armed with the knowledge that mankind is on course to self-destruct, the doctors eventually abandon their research and lose touch with each other. But all too soon, signs of the inevitable appear.

Only royal fae blood can lift the King’s curse on the alpha bloodline. And one fae is about to pay that price…

When Fae Princess Athroxane loses her father in a brutal battle, a blood curse makes her the biggest target of the wolf shifters…dead or alive.

Her only hope is a risky bet to bargain for her life: if she can win the duel against the Alpha, she’ll be set free. Except, she loses the battle, binding her to a promise to help lift the curse.

Problem is, the Fae Counsel forbids their kind from associating with wolf shifters, which means Athroxane is forced to choose whose trust she will betray: that of her people, or that of a wolf clan whose Alpha has already proven capable of ending her life.
