Alpha read: Newer version to be published elsewhere!
In a world filled with evil, demon hunting is a revered profession, albeit a highly dangerous one. Xellie's older brother is one such demon hunter, renowned for his prowess. But she always gets left behind, so as not to become a liability, and she's tired of it. Desperate to help clean up the land and prove herself to her brother, she would do anything.

One day, an offer arrives that could make her dream come true - provided she can show she's capable and responsible enough to use such power. But is it worth it? And does she really have a choice?
