The First Layer

Book 1 · Beastborn

Hunt quietly. Earn enough. Come home alive.

Rustwater sits at the bottom of Halcyon, where the light comes secondhand. Sixteen-year-old Chase Miller has empty pockets and a little sister whose heart is running out of time. On Haven, every beast a hunter kills and eats makes him stronger—and Chase has found a way to climb faster than anyone should.
