About this title

Synopsis

During the Civil War, the North—desperate to defeat the South—utilized forbidden magic that turned their soldiers into monstrous beings known as Incarnates. In exchange for their humanity they were granted immense power to defeat their foes. But though their lands were saved, some grew to fear the Incarnates in the aftermath of the war, causing them to be shunned, and some even killed. Years later in a town in the middle of nowhere, Nancy Schaal Bancroft has found her target—the man responsible for killing her Incarnate father. Armed with an elephant gun, she takes aim and fires, but he remains unharmed. Despite revealing her vengeful intentions to him, the man has other pressing matters to attend to: the murder of another Incarnate. During the clash, Schaal discovers that her father's killer is actually an Incarnate himself, and his murderous streak is due to a promise he made long ago: that any Incarnate who loses their humanity will be taken down by one of their own. After the beast is dead, the Incarnate known as Hank invites Schaal to accompany him on his journey, so that she can understand the truth behind her father's death and why these monstrous beings are better off dying at the hands of their former comrades.

Main characters

Hank Henriette30 fan favorites
External profile
Hank is a former Incarnate platoon captain. After the civil war ended, he became a Beast Hunter, fulfilling his promise to his former allies that "those who lose their humanity shall be laid to rest by his comrades." He wears a white hooded coat and his hair turns from black to white under moonlight. This is because his true power can only be unleashed at night. Hank is one of the few Incarnates that can transition between human and Beast. His Incarnate form is a werewolf.

External profile
Nancy Schaal Bancroft (known by her middle name, Schaal) is the daughter of the Incarnate soldier John William Bancroft. She attempts to avenge his death by tracking down his murderer and former platoon captain, Hank, who has been hunting the "beasts" he once led. Ultimately, Schaal decides to travel with Hank in order to discover the truth behind her father's demise and why Hank believes the Incarnates are better off killed by a Beast Hunter. Schaal was raised at her father's orphanage where she learned to mend clothes for the other children there. She cherishes her tea time (traveling with a china set in her suitcase), as well as her father's old elephant gun. She strongly believes in the humanity of the former Incarnate soldiers, who are feared and looked down upon after the civil war.
