PROLOGUE

Jagged is a small Jaggi who gets left alone in a strange land after his beloved owner, Rose, is captured by a hostile Rathalos. Refusing to believe she has become dinner, he sets out across a vast world to find her. Along the way, he meets an array of other monsters who ether join him and offer to help him achieve his goal, or vow to hinder his goal for their own malicious purposes. In a world teetering on full blown war, Jagged will have to be very careful who he can trust.

Rose is sharp, intellectual and loves all life equally be it monster or human. As a young girl, she found an abandoned Jaggi, cast out because he was too weak to help support the pack, and decided to raise him as her own pet. As her own friend. But things are changing faster than she can comprehend, and after a Rathalos and a Rathian have their eggs stolen and smashed, the wyvern pair vow to bring hell itself down on all humans, wiping them out for good. But Rose is determined to keep the peace, even if it means loosing her memories of Jagged to do it. Now taken far, far away to a land of hunters, she must learn to fit in and thrive, or become some monsters next meal. Everyone sees her as a joke, but something in her gut tells her she is there for something more.

Beanie is a Palico who dreams of becoming a hunter. Red is a Palamute that has seen his master die by the claws of a Rathalos, and will never forget the pain. Within Kamura Village, they are forced together, and now they must learn how to live with each other's polar opposite differences and beliefs. But when Red hears of a brewing war that, if done right, has the potential to wipe out all monsters in existence, he's all in. He just has to figure out what his role is to best fit the cause. It doesn't take long for Beanie to become conflicted. Wait, where's Red? Where did he go? She must find him before the war reaches its peak, and monsters and humans are forced to fight to the death.
