Hunter and Seed — Tim Niederriter

One night on Earth, a man born to a different world sees his chance to return home and find power beyond.

Saul is a maker, a person with the ability to create living creatures from art. He has trained his whole life to create a new world of his own but failed in the challenges required.

Olivia is a hunter of monsters, scarred, wary, and skillful with her weapons. When a man is murdered in their small town, she tracks Saul down to bring the killer to justice.

But the killer is elusive and has gained possession of a rare artifact that contains the potential to become a new universe.

Their journey begins on Earth, but will take them far beyond, to places different from anything Olivia ever imagined, and that Saul never thought he would see again. The chase is harsh. Uncountable numbers of monsters are on their heels, and even if they can catch the thief, will Saul find it in himself to do what is right?

Hunter and Seed is the first novel in the Maker Mythos, a contemporary fantasy adventure series.
