"We weren't meant to be good. We were meant to survive." Zerlinda has had a sword hanging over her head ever since her father's disappearance. With her cowardly mother good as dead, Zerlinda is forced to accept a bargain with Hades, the God of Death, in exchange for the life of her younger sister, Adalia. After years of avoiding her fate in the gallows, Zerlinda is captured and sent to her death, only to survive and be sold as slave to the King of Nerissa-the man who could very well be behind her father's sudden disappearance. But when the king offers Zerlinda a chance that she cannot possibly let pass, she finds herself torn between survival, protecting Adalia and finding out more about the strange power that seems to call to her. Lives will be lost, loyalties broken, and soon, Zerlinda will be forced to face the darkness blackening her very soul. A darkness that could cause her to lose whatever shred of sanity she has tediously fought to hold on to. For in Nerissa, there is no one to be trusted. Not even one's own self. - Highest Rank: #2 MultiPov story Runner up to the Creativity Awards 2019 Runner up to the We Are Writers Awards 2.0 Honorable mention in the Action/adventure category of the EWA awards - #Thelitawards2019
