The One Who Eats Monsters

Erynis has spent ages in exile, far from ordinary human society. After saving an innocent person leaves her weakened, soldiers mistake the immortal for a traumatized teenager and bring her into the city of New Petersburg. As Ryn, she must navigate institutions and social rules that make little sense to her, while recognizing monsters the humans around her cannot easily see. Protecting Naomi Bradford, a senator’s daughter, becomes more than a duty as unfamiliar feelings complicate Ryn’s fierce certainty. Her ability to destroy dangerous beings offers little guidance about caring for someone vulnerable. This urban fantasy follows a formidable outsider whose attachment to a human woman exposes fears that brute strength cannot answer.
