Rise of The Witnesses
The first in an Epic Fantasy Saga featuring Found Family and a Morally Grey FMC.
She swore never to touch the magic that burned her home and corrupted her sister. But in the gutters, temptation is hard to refuse, especially when the god of death and desire wants her soul.
For readers of The Poppy War and The Unspoken Name.
Abandoned as a child, Ayela wants nothing more than to keep her foster siblings safe. But when the sister she trusts most surrenders her soul to Erithia, their home is reduced to ash.
Now, Erithia whispers a promise to restore what she's lost, but the cost of one's soul is more than Ayela will willingly spare.
Starving in the slums of the nation's greatest city, Ayela and her childhood friend Lillia, who is slowly becoming something more, join a band of desperate mercenaries who feel more like family every day.
But Erithia's magic has already taken root. And with every step, his whispers grow stronger. Lillia may be the only light left to anchor her against her growing addiction, the only thread keeping Ayela from becoming the monster that burned her world to the ground.
