Fires of Hatred

2020

Fires of Hatred ‘My name is 625. At least, that’s the number branded into my skin, the only identity I have. My real name, whatever it was, was stripped from me when I was sold into slavery at age eight. I am now 20, and no more than property, my only purpose working in the palace. Until the day I meet him.’ The Elves and Humans have been at war for millennia. No one even remembers why or how it started. When a slave girl is sent to clean in a forbidden part of the castle, she stumbles across a secret which could cost her life. A captured Elf, sworn enemy of the Human people, forced into making Elven weaponry to fight against his own kin. Will they see past the differences between their races and help each other to survive? Or will their union only serve to stoke the fires of hatred? This book is intended for audiences 18+ and contains some scenes of violence that some may find distressing.

I have been given many names. I’ve gone from a slave with only a number to identify me, to a Lady, a friend, and most recently… a saviour. They think I am soft, not a threat.

Clarissa and Vaeril managed to escape the massacre at the castle, but the fight is only just the beginning. The tainted priests and the cruel King have plans for the Kingdom of Arhaven.
