Out of the Chains

In a brutal desert territory, only the Council offers protection from the evil terrorizing the Expanse. Born blessed with the Mark that would offer a connection to the gods, Avara must prove herself worthy of the one thing that would allow her to avenge her brother and protect others from the monsters that took him. Divine magic. Even if it means erasing compassion and sacrificing her humanity.
But when she finally leaves the confines of the Monument she was raised in, she is forced to face a startling reality. The world she sacrificed everything for may not be what she was led to believe. Secrets unravel and her faith in the gods fractures under an unwanted truth, that she may be one of the monsters herself.
As the Physical Plane itself is threatened, Avara must balance violence, betrayal and awakening desire in a world where she’s never been permitted pleasure. And worse, the man that is forcing her to see the truth despises everything she stands for. You can expect a slow burn romance that forces Avara to remember what she’s lost. Her heart.
Darkly lyrical, this is a story of survival, rebellion and becoming. Of a woman forced to choose between the gods that would own her and the freedom that could destroy everything.
