Kael Ardent, a disgraced monster hunter armed with a massive greatsword, joins forces with a reckless fire mage, a warrior with a terrifying secret, a pain-sharing healer, and a teenage explosives expert. Together, they must cross a dying world filled with monsters that can mimic human voices, possess the dead, and transform their victims into something worse.
But the deeper they travel, the more disturbing the truth becomes.
The apocalypse has happened before.
The monsters were once human.
And the mysterious girl traveling with them may be the only thing keeping something far worse from waking.
To survive the last dawn, Kael must decide how much of his humanity he is willing to sacrifice.
