The story features an alternate universe in which Eileen the Crow finds Father Gascoigne's daughters, Adele and Laure, before any of them meet the original PlayerCharacter hunter. With their Mother and Father missing and Eileen being preoccupied with her job as Hunter of Hunters, she is forced to take the girls to the only person she knows will take care of them; the retired hunter Djura. Unfortunately, the four of them end up being drawn into one of the bloodiest and most dangerous hunts the city will ever know.
