Hunter's Beginning is the story of a young girl and her search for a place, any place, where she fits in. Unwanted by a father, who sees her as useless, persecuted by a guild, which refuses to accept her, mistreated by the Academy, to the point of physical injuries, and even shunned by her fellow cadets, Kile Veller finds acknowledgement in the oddest of places, the heart of yarrow. It is only when she comes to accept this strange little companion as a friend, she realizes those things, which separated her from the normal world, those things, which isolated her from the world of men, are the same things, which bond her to the natural world and gives her the courage she needs to do the one thing she desires above all else, to be become a Hunter.
This is the journey of Kile Veller, from the trials of the entry examination within the mystic's tower, to the hardships of her first year at the Hunter's Academy. She quickly learns, not everything is what it seems, and a freaky little peasant girl with Orseen blood from a town, no one has ever heard of, might actually become one of the greatest Hunters the Kingdom would ever see. All she needs to do now is learn how to use a sword, and that means surviving her combat lessons.
