When a reaper breaks into the fortress sanctuary and slaughters every living soul inside, fifteen-year-old Aura flees to the Grand Citadel.
But inside the walls, powerful forces are wrestling for control and raising long-buried demons, eager to tear free of their cages.
To stay out of the belly of the hungry capital, Aura must feed her own inner darkness while evading the Royal Exorcists and keeping out of the holy fire.
Unfortunately, her inexperience attracts the attention of the sick and twisted creatures haunting the backstreets.
Worst of all is the Demon Eater, a mentally unstable demon cultivator who tries to tear Aura to pieces on sight, and grows increasingly obsessed with chasing all her inner darkness out into the light.
For fans of Spirited Away and Demon Souls.
Not recommended for young readers.
Book One in the Demon Eater Trilogy.
