Don't show fear. Don't attract attention. Don't forget who the monsters are. Those are seventeen-year-old Janneke's three rules to surviving in the Permafrost. Her family is dead, her village burned to the ground, and now she's a slave in a court of merciless goblins. Though her master, Soren, offers her a small sphere of protection, it comes at the cost of abandoning humanity and their ways for good. When the Goblin King is defeated in a fight, it ignites an ancient competition to become the next King. The goal is simple: kill the sacred White Stag before the other goblins kill you. Soren sees it as the perfect opportunity to shape Janneke's acceptance of the goblins' way and give in to the hatred and violence festering inside of her. Janneke's only hope for survival is to outrun, outfight, and out-kill every creature in her path, all the while dealing with Soren, whose fierce desire for her to be a goblin is shadowed by his fascination for her human heart. Hunting the Stag is Janneke's best chance at revenge over those who enslaved her, but to succeed, she'll have to watch her humanity bleed out like the creatures she's sworn to kill. **CREDIT FOR THE WONDERFUL COVER GOES TO @seventhstar *** ***COMPLETED. THE SEQUEL, GOBLIN KING, IS IN THE PROCESS OF WRITING AND POSTING. ENJOY!!!***

Set in the Arcadia Universe, where the gods have allowed men to wield powers beyond our wildest dreams. How this power is used, however, is totally up to the bearer and they have the three choices. Be a hero, a villain, or live their lives like the rest of society. However, not all humans possess extraordinary abilities and the police have to protect the lives of citizens, and in the process, the government uses many measures that may doom society to destruction. This story follows Nathaniel Masters, who has to face many challenges along his journey, as he eventually rises up to face the threat posed not only by villains but by those he has sworn to protect. "There I was, the son of two amazing superheroes. Known far and wide for their amazing bravery, brilliance and power. I won't lie, I am proud to call them my parents, but something burned deeply on the inside. Not only the fact that I couldn't tell anyone that they were superheroes, but also the fact that I was no more human than you. I was shunned by my parents' friends, humiliated by their kids, whose power was not only amazing but grew stronger. My family pretty much ignored me. I had no other siblings and my friends, well they had other stuff to do. Besides the continuous support and acceptance by my grandfather, my only option is to dream.... that is, until something happens." ### Book's Top Rankings ### #3 in #projectsuper - December 2019
