"It is an age when monsters rule the world, soaring through the sky, treading the earth and filling the seas. Humanity survives on the fringes, relying on a special kind of hero to defend the people from danger -- the Monster Hunters! Near the village where he was born, Raiga sees a phantasmal Elder Dragon know as a Kirin and decides to hunt it. But the Waldbrand Guild already has the contract to hunt the legendary monster. A deal is proposed that may cost Raiga one of his friends, yet everyone seems to have underestimated the challenge posed by the Kirin"."--Back cover.
