Edwin Slaughter is a Scarlet Mask, one of the secret record keepers of the Order of St. George. He's enamored with stories of ancient hunters, as well as those in his midst, but he only gets to write the stories and never live them himself. That is, until what starts out as standard reconnaissance for the Order turns Edwin’s world upside down -- a legendary monster is discovered, one long thought extinct! It's taken the lives of countless children, bringing Edwin into the field and into real danger for the very first time.
