Elijah, a half-dhampir born into the demon-exorcising Cushing family, was destined to become a supernatural hunter, inheriting the sacred heirloom knife known as “Beginning.” But lacking conviction and faith, he turned away from his legacy and lived a carefree life—until a mysterious fire engulfed their home one night, forcing Elijah and his brother Thane to flee to the border country of Japon in their father’s small boat. After settling into his new life in Japon, where the past seemed distant and forgotten, fate stirred once more, setting the stage for a new and unforeseen chapter in Elijah’s journey.
