"Prenez-moi, je ferai tout ce que vous voudrez !" Dans sa vie antérieure, Lu Man est envoyée en prison après avoir été piégée par sa demi-sœur et un salaud. À sa sortie de prison, la seule chose qui l'accueille est la pierre tombale de sa mère. Voyant le salaud et la garce vivre heureux ensemble comme une grande famille avec son père biologique et sa belle-mère, elle décide de mourir avec le salaud et sa demi-sœur dans des flammes ardentes. Au moment où elle ouvre à nouveau les yeux, elle se retrouve exactement le jour où elle a été piégée.

In a world haunted by monstrous creatures and bound by rigid beliefs, Eska is born with a rare and dangerous ability: Bloodcraft, the power to manipulate her own blood. This power marks her as a heretic in the eyes of the church. A powerful order that follows the gods' laws. But fate spares her when Oblea, a seasoned Hunter, finds her as a child and takes her in, raising her in seclusion far from the reach of those who would see her destroyed. Under Oblea’s care, Eska learns to hunt, survive, and master her abilities, but she remains hidden from the world and the unyielding doctrines of the church. Years later, the church’s agents discover her, and her secret is exposed. Rather than execution, she is bound into servitude, forced to hunt and eliminate creatures beyond the reach of normal Hunters, facing demons and horrors twisted by ancient powers. As she fulfills her duties, Eska uncovers strange truths about the gods worshiped by the church and the dark mysteries surrounding their origins. Whispers tell of a rift between gods and demons, and of forbidden powers hidden from mortals. Fueled by a growing desire for revenge against the gods who condemn her very existence, Eska embarks on a dangerous path to challenge divine forces. Driven by the secrets she uncovers—and the injustices she suffers—Eska’s journey becomes one of vengeance and revelation, as she seeks to defy her fate, confront the gods themselves, and unravel the dark bond between deities and demons.

In order to avenge her families lost she decided to marry her families enemies son.

I've never done anything to you." "Begging me on your knees. That's a good start." Dread turned my clammy skin cold. Mason Sumner hated my guts, and he would have no compassion for me. This was bad. This was really, really bad.
