Half City

Welcome to Harker Academy for Deviant Defense, where survival depends on keeping both your weapons and your instincts razor sharp. Viv Abbot may seem like an ordinary twenty-one-year-old, juggling life in an expensive city, working a draining job, and maintaining a relationship she doesn’t even want just to please her difficult mother, but beneath it all, she is a demon hunter. Since her father’s murder, she has been forced to hunt alone, leaving her isolated and misunderstood by everyone around her, including her own family.

Everything changes when she encounters Reid Graveheart, a dangerously alluring demon who claims to have reformed and introduces her to Harker Academy, a place where hunters like her can train, belong, and fight together. Hoping for answers and a sense of connection, Viv enrolls, but she carries a secret that could put everything at risk if it’s discovered. As strange and unsettling events begin to unfold within the academy, she must navigate new friendships, intense training, and growing feelings for someone she should never trust, all while searching for the truth about her father’s death. Balancing danger, deception, and her own emotions, Viv quickly learns that surviving her first year at Harker may be her greatest challenge yet.
