Monstress #2 by Marjorie Liu

After a brutal escape from a witch-run stronghold, a young Arcanic struggling with the ravenous ancient entity inside her flees with a fox-girl companion and a sardonic cat necromancer as unlikely allies. Hunted by human inquisitors and rival factions who covet the monster’s power, she follows clues tied to her mother’s secrets and a shattered mask that may unlock the truth of what she’s become. The chase intensifies, revealing the cost of survival in a war-torn world where mercy is rare and monsters wear many faces.
