Amethyst Pledge

When Kazari answers the Lady's call to serve, she never expects to take the amethyst of the Hunter, one of the select few who defend Albatar from the gorgones - demons brought from Beyond by the Second King. After all, at fifteen, she's short and stocky, and not made of the stuff of legends. But the Lady, (she who created Albatar as a sanctuary for the faithful following the Gorgone War) has other ideas. And now rumours of gorgone attacks herald another war. As a Hunter, a group whose exploits are legend within Albatar, Kazari is expected to play her part in the coming war. But as young and untrained as she is, and despite the gifts the Lady has given her, how can she live up to the legends of the past? When gorgones attack the Abbey and threaten her family, Kazari doesn't have a choice. And with Albatar under attack, even the Hunters' gifts may not be enough to defeat the evil that threatens them all.
