"She was no older than Tom, and she was hideous. A terrible scar ran down her face from forehead to jaw, making it look like a portrait that had been furiously crossed out. Her mouth was wrenched sideways in a permanent sneer, her nose a smashed stump and her single eye stared at him out of the wreckage, as grey and chill as a winter sea."

Hester Shaw lives in the far future, where Cities are on wheels and travel across the ruined Earth, hunting and eating other cities.
She looks for the man that ruined her life, and took her face from her. Only after she kills him, she can die happily.
OR
She's an assassin, roaming the deserts of Africa and old Europa with her undead companion, Shrike. This is an older version of Hester, more brutal but also very motherly.

The Shrike
Shrike is an undead killing machine. A Stalker. Stalkers were built by the ancients to win wars, but now that those wars are over, very few remain, many are destroyed, being used for parts or collecting dust. Except Shrike.

"Over by the doorway a sudden cloud of vapour bloomed, and out of it stepped a Stalker. It was seven feet tall, and beneath its coat shone metal armour. The flesh of its long face was pale, glistening with a slug-like film of mucus, and here and there a blue-white jag of bone showed through the skin. Its mouth was a slot full of metalic teeth. Its nose and the top of its head were covered by a long metal skull-piece with tubes and flexes trailing down like dreadlocks, their ends plugging into ports on its chest. Its round glass eyes gave it a startled look, as if it had never got over the horrible surprise of what had happened to it. Because that was the worst thing about Stalkers: they had been human once, and somewhere beneath that iron cowl a human brain was trapped."

Hester is always hungry. A born Predator. She loves to torture and tease her prey, being a ruthless killer.
She is also open to being prey.
