The truth behind the creation of the mother of all monsters has to come out at some point. It always does. The only question is whether or not you survive it. Halsey Ambrosius just didn't think it would be revealed to the other elemental clans before she could tell Brigham. She might be the Alpha Hunter, but she has no idea what that means, other than fighting crazy powerful monsters that are new on the scene. Who does have the intel on this new beast? So far, Halsey is coming up dry. How do you fight and defeat a creature that no one has faced before? What exactly is a Crimen? It's time for Halsey to return home and tell the truth to Brigham and her cousins. Together, they might be able to figure out what they're facing and how to defeat it. Can Halsey and her cousins discover enough about the Crimen that are coming for them? Will Halsey figure out what's going on with Halil and the Order of Skrár? And why do the grindylows keep following her?
