Marked for the Hunt: One Girl Must Slay Thirteen Demons or Watch the World Burn.
Fourteen-year-old Everly “Ev” Espada thinks she’s just walking home from school…until she looks up and sees her priest, Father Serrano, suspended in midair, choking, and being ripped apart by something she can’t see. Acting on pure instinct, Ev swings a nearby pipe and shatters the illusion, exposing a monstrous demon in the middle of the street. One brutal blow later, the creature is dead. And so is Ev’s normal life.
By killing one of Earth’s Thirteen Hidden Demons, Ev has unknowingly triggered an ancient covenant. She’s been marked as a demon hunter, and the remaining twelve are already coming for her. The rules are simple and merciless: slay all thirteen within one year… or they will return more powerful, more vicious, and utterly unstoppable. Now a regular teen armed with nothing but courage, grit, and a growing supernatural legacy must hunt creatures older than civilization while dodging school, secrets, and the slow realization that she may be humanity’s last line of defense. This high-octane, black-and-white, manga-inspired graphic novel comes from writer Adam Tierney (Teen Titans Go!, acclaimed video game director) and artist Saspy, delivering brutal action, emotional stakes, and cinematic monster-slaying on every page.
This is Tierney’s graphic novel debut—and it comes in swinging.
Adam Tierney is a video game designer, producer, and director currently living in Los Angeles.
