Synopsis via Goodreads:
What do you do when your magic makes you a target? Run. Fight. Die.
14-year-old Kai Koson had nothing to do with the apocalypse, thank you very much. He was just a baby the day a coven of blood witches ripped a hole in the universe and the demons fell screaming from the sky. Earth and its magic perished. Witchkind was hunted and annihilated.
Now, because he was born a witch, Kai must spend his life running and fighting for survival. Even his own uncle seems determined to abandon him.
With nothing left to lose, Kai runs away and joins a team of galactic bounty hunters. But instead of providing an escape, it sets Kai on a path that will destroy everything he believes about himself and the apocalypse, transforming him into the most wanted teenager in the galaxy.
Written with humour, imagination and darkness, Bounty Hunter and its protagonist Kai Koson stand confidently beside Percy Jackson, Artemis Fowl, Alex Rider, Young Bond, Mortal Engines and Harry Potter.

KL's Review
Bounty Hunter is
the age-old tale of a teenager’s rites of passage…scratch that. There was nothing age-old about it! Kai, a teenage witch on the run finds himself
in the most dangerous and dire of situations.
Only through the new-found friendships and a revealing open honesty with
an old one, is he able to overcome the many obstacles this world throws at him.
This book is very well paced with lots of action and nail-biting over the
characters many perils. Though the world
and its situations are very dark, the author has well timed comedic moments
spawned from the nicely developed characters.
Their interactions often reminded me of the crew of Serenity. I thoroughly
enjoyed reading Bounty Hunter and
look forward to more from Kai and the crew of The Derkomai.
