Atia is a Nefas, a monster that feeds on fear and nightmares. Humans definitely don’t want to encounter her when it’s time to feed. But then again, in a world where monsters exist, humans are wise to keep their wits about them at all times. Unfortunately, Atia is the last of her kind. The Gods killed her parents as punishment for committing a heinous crime. And she has been hiding from the Gods ever since. Silas is a messenger of the Gods, tasked with ferrying souls to the After or the Never after they die. But as a Herald, his memories were erased upon his assignment, and he doesn’t know who he was before. When Silas encounters Atia, he realizes she just might be the one who can help break his curse. The Night Hunt by Alexandra Christo is a dark fantasy novel that follows a “rag-tag” mix of beings on a quest to restore identities and memories. But they might not be prepared for everything they find.
