He was meant to destroy-not protect. Forged as a weapon of the crown, Grimm is commanded to hunt down every wielder of magic without mercy. When a new order forces him into an unfamiliar role-shield instead of blade-his certainty begins to fracture. Hidden enemies close in, and a mysterious girl may be more dangerous than anything Grimm has ever been sent to kill. A Grimm Tale of Magicide is a dark, unflinching fantasy about power, trauma, and the brutal cost of leadership.
