In a world where human virtues manifest as godlike beings known as Archons, Yukito has trained his entire life to become a Beast Hunter—one of the warriors sworn to protect humanity from creatures born of emotion, will, and fate itself. His initiation was meant to mark the beginning of the future he was promised. Instead, it becomes the moment everything fractures. When corrupted Archons descend upon his home, the line between monster and victim begins to blur. Faced with a truth Hunters are never meant to question, Yukito must decide whether the world he was raised to defend is built on something far more fragile than he imagined. Joined by his best friend Takumi, burdened by the crushing weight of legacy, and Akari, a girl whose past hides more than it reveals, Yukito’s journey becomes more than a fight for survival. It becomes a rebellion against destiny itself— —and the terrifying question of who you are when the world has already decided for you.
