A Measure of Gloom — Nicole Zoltack

It's not every day you claw your way out of Hell. Crystal Wynter has freed herself from the claws of Hell, but the Claymore she returns to is unrecognizable. Demons, immoral magical beings, and criminals rule the day, and chaos reigns at night. No one is safe. No one has hope. Try as she might, Crystal is spent. Hell stole so much from her. Life in general has dealt her terrible blows. Maybe Claymore isn't worth saving, and even if Crystal is willing to try, it just might take everything that she has left to offer.
