Mere days after the Hunt and the contest for princess Aerity's hand is won by the Northlander and Paxton has left Lochlanach a new monster appears. The King is without resources to manage this new threat as the previous hunt has depleted not only his army but his coffers and the people's faith in their monarchy. Aerity refuses to allow her sister to offer the reward she so recently offered her kingdom.
Vixie is furious that her family will not let her sacrifice herself to the kingdom's needs, but when news comes the Lachlanach isn't the only kingdom facing the beast Vixie and Paxton's younger brother, Tiern Seabolt, band together to help find a solution.
Aerity goes searching for Paxton Seabolt hoping to find closure with the young man before her wedding to the Northland's Lord Alvi. With Harrison's help, they find Paxton has joined Rosaria Rocato's army and is secretly planning to sabotage her plan - Rasaria is at the center of all the chaos plaguing Eurona.
With Paxton's information, Aerity and Harrison return to Lochlanach to discover Tiern and Vixie following them after the King and Queen are kidnapped. Aerity returns home to find Leif has maintained stability in her absence, but her country is beginning to flounder. Those who Lochlanach believed were allies wage war openly on the side of Rozaria Rocato and Aerity must make the decisions which will save or doom her kingdom.
Paxton returns and on his heels is active warfare across Lochlanach and even more beasts ravaging the continent. The heir apparent fights enemies on all sides and her own misgivings to become the leader her people need. In the conclusion to her story, Aerity finds her strength, her place in life, and her place in her kingdom.
The Great Pursuit concludes Eurona's tale and Aerity's quest for purpose, following closely behind The Great Hunt. The series has its own mature content and significant violence as Rocato's rebellion breaks across the continent.
