For generations, the Royal Monster Hunters have protected humanity from the creatures lurking beyond the kingdom’s walls. Captain Keigo Takami, known as The Crimson Hunter, is the finest among them—a legendary hunter who has never failed a mission. His newest assignment should have been simple. Find the monster. Eliminate it. Instead… He finds someone who makes him question everything he’s ever believed. A slow-burn enemies-to-lovers fantasy filled with ancient magic, dangerous monsters, haunted forests, and the impossible choice between duty and compassion.
