    Summary

    The logic of demon hunts is simple: sacrifice the lives of few, in order to save the many. Those who hunt down demons must be attentive, careful, and above all, impartial.

    When Emery lands the job, she thinks she’s prepared to make sacrifices. But when the cold equation of the demon hunt meets the morality of actually taking a human life, she’s forced to make an unthinkable decision.

    Would you risk the lives of hundreds to save one innocent person?

    Summary

    When an estranged friend offers him a place to stay, Jean soon realises that his new home is haunted by a demonic secret. Under the thin veneer of civility lies fear, violence and treachery, and it threatens to boil over unless Jean and the others can unmask the murderers in their midst. Still, as a Defect, he’s worth more dead than alive. The threat of invasion is looming on the horizon. A single misplaced lie could unravel the well-laid plans of his fellow townspeople.

    What’s a Mutant to do when telling the truth is tantamount to his own destruction?
