Demon Hunter
The fifth book of the Shadowland Hexology
The city of Fairfield in the year 2100. Bitter winter hardly ever relaxes its grip on the world. The dead roam outside the city walls, their cold flesh given life by bodiless demons. The dying must be watched, for only beheading can stop the demons from taking possession of a corpse.
Demons that escape the Death Watch become a problem for the Demon Hunters. Roze, apprentice hunter, inherits a legendary sword and has it stolen from her immediately. She is assaulted by those who should protect her. Unarmed and alone, she flees from Fairfield into the demon-infested ruins beyond.
But in the long-abandoned library west of the city she finds hope in the form of the Reader, the one human alive who still knows a book is worth more in the hand than in the fire. The Reader needs a bodyguard, and Roze needs a job.
Then, in the Reader’s Old Hospital, Roze meets Isolde, a girl who has been asleep for a hundred years.
Roze must protect the Reader, reclaim her father’s sword, solve the mystery of what happened to him, and find out what the eternally slumbering Isolde means for Fairfield’s past… and its future.
