Professional hunter, Lok Brightslayer, is called onto the job when a space-born monster starts ripping starships apart. But it's hardly a simple slaying. There are other hunters out for the beast's five million crown bounty. Worse, Faldos, the son of an old hunting buddy, is missing after an attack. Lok must navigate the suffocating darkness of the Obsidian Shroud, save Faldos if he still lives, and slay the monster without getting eaten in the process...

...just a hunt like any other.
