Starred review from March 15, 2018
When Hunters Hanson Knell and Kohl O'Hanson are ambushed in a bar in Daharia, they are saved by a young woman named Jessop. Impressed by her skills with a sword, the Hunters bring her to the Glass Blade, their training facility, to discover more about her. Jessop knows their fighting techniques, their mental power of Sentio, and that the Hunters of Infinity do not train women. But train Jessop they will, for she carries the blade and escaped from one of their own: the enemy known as Falco Bane, the rogue leader of Aranthol. As Jessop grows closer to the brotherhood that now supports her, the Hunters' leader is mysteriously struck down and left in a coma. Secrets coming to light raise questions about the mysterious woman who has joined their ranks. Are the problems coming from outside enemies, or could there be a traitor in their midst? VERDICT This thrilling, action-packed debut ties together a strong characters with a building story line that will have readers clamoring for the next volume in this new series.
