For eleven years, Alessia has trained alongside her Brothers at Last Pass, becoming the finest fighter the Order has ever seen—and the only one denied her Hunter''''s cloak. Women don''''t survive the Trial of Change. They never have. The alchemical transformation that creates Hunters has killed every Sister who attempted it across four centuries of tradition.The Trial promises supernatural power to hunt the monsters plaguing the realm—vampires, sirens, wraiths, and worse. It also promises The Presence: an entity that lives inside every Hunter, feeding on emotion, whispering promises of strength while slowly consuming their humanity. Most who drink the elixir don''''t survive the night. Those who do are never quite the same.
