Preparators. The Call of the Hawk

For many centuries, the continent of Kiertania has been bound by eternal ice, and deadly and alluring Chill surrounds its cities. Only snitirs inhabit it – extraordinary beasts that live in two layers of reality, in the World and the... Soul. Parts of snitirs' bodies sustain life on the continent. Their hearts beat instead of train and car engines, and their eyes cut through the darkness instead of lanterns…
Only preparators – people with special physical abilities – can hunt snitirs. Three preparator recruits – Sorta, Ulm, and Missie – embark on training for this honorable service. But will each of them withstand the trials set by fate?
