Diablerie: Stray - Paperback

Diablerie: a world filled with magic, monsters, and a new kind of people known as Vacunus. In this world, there are dangers around every corner, whether they're a beast infused with magical power or a person hoping to take a life. This is the story of one of the many who live in the world, on the continent of Udeligic, named Lycia Vertante.

At a young age, Lycia lost her home and her mother. Her father became an alcoholic soon after, leaving her to grow up in this dangerous world filled with magic alone. That was almost two decades ago, and now, she has tried to move on. Living a nomadic life, she has no home and hides who she is, or she tries to, until someone from her past showed up with answers to questions she's had all her life. Can she put trust in someone for the first time since the loss of her mother? More than that, can she take a life? The life of the man that killed her mother and ruined her life? The only way she'll ever know is to follow this person, and fight.
