Check out my new book The Beast Beneath Her Skin! ❤️❤️
Venya's entire existence has revolved around fear, hunger, and the struggle to survive. She comes from a post-apocalyptic realm divided into four kingdoms. Within the villages across The Kingdoms, most inhabitants are known as Whisps and possess basic magical abilities that anyone can wield. However, there are three additional categories. Hellions, who possess greater power, reside in opulent castles, courts, or prosperous neighboring villages. Sapphires, who are immortal kings and queens. The final category comprises the Grims, individuals whose immense power necessitates their eradication before they become a threat to society.
Venya Corvus is a Grim but does not understand it. She has no idea the reasons why her skin transforms into ebony scales and her hands morph into elongated claws. When she unintentionally causes the death of her parents, she is forced to flee her village before anyone can discover her powers. Since that tragic incident, Venya has been on the run alongside her elder brother, Arter, and his best friend, Nayte.
However, Venya's life takes a drastic turn when she is apprehended by the Shadow Queen and forced to sing for her as a slave. It is during this dire circumstance that she encounters Zeddicus, The King of Death himself. Faced with the prospect of an imminent demise, locked away in a desolate prison cell, Venya contemplates the possibility that Death may hold the key to her salvation.
