Famine

The fate of every soul rests upon his shoulders. His fate rests in the hands of a troubled, young girl

It's 1895 - the cusp of the Victorian and Edwardian eras - and Bartholomew Pelletier is a gentleman and a warrior. For fifteen centuries he's endured the depraved appetite of Famine - one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse - as she's consumed his strength and sought to unite with her fellow Horsemen. But now Bartholomew's chance to imprison her has appeared...in the form of his young ward Matilde.

Chosen to wield the immeasurable power of the Catcher - the one entity that can capture the escaped Horsemen - Matilde is a distrustful child from an abusive and impoverished home. She must be hidden from Famine as she grows strong, learns to fight, and reaches adulthood. But Bartholomew faces a terrible act: For Matilde to become the immortal Catcher, he must gain her trust, and then he must end her life.

By any means necessary, Bartholomew intends to conquer this enemy, but is he willing to sacrifice the one person he loves in order to save mankind?
