Summary
The world is overrun with monsters called Nemesis—and a young boy
infected by them will stop at nothing to defeat them all!
Seth is an
aspiring wizard living in a pastoral village under the watchful eye of his
mentor. Like all wizards, he is an “infected”: one of the few living
creatures that has survived contact with a Nemesis, creatures fallen from the
sky that contaminate all they touch. His apparent immunity led him to choose a
path that seemed to be perfect—to become someone who hunts and fights the
Nemesis. But Seth longs for a quest that goes beyond the simple hunt for
monsters. He wants to find their home, Radiant. Along with other wizards, he
travels the world in search of Radiant, under the sinister eye of the
Inquisition...
Seth has big goals of defeating Nemeses, but first he must
earn the trust of the very villagers he wants to protect—not an easy task
when those who use magic are just as feared as the Nemeses they fight. Even
worse, Seth can barely control his monstrous powers! It’ll take more than
brute strength—although it’ll take that too—to get
Seth’s quest out of the boonies and into the big time!
