The Beast Hunters by Christer Lende explores the story of what happens when a monster brutally kills Ara’s parents, and she is saved by two beast hunters. Becoming their apprentice, she discovers serums, secret bestiary knowledge, and remarkable abilities—all to save unsuspecting souls from the same fate her parents suffered. But terrifying creatures lurk everywhere, and Ara must master the art of beast hunting quickly if she is to uncover the elusive creature plaguing the village of Cornstead.
