The Metaphorical Key Book II- Forge the Path
(If you haven't read the first book, stop here! Don't spoil yourself, the first book is also on my profile) The death of a friend can break a person, or reshape them. It could be the straw that broke the camel's back, or a motivator, a push in the right direction. Aiden isn't sure where he falls. All he knows is the guilt and the desire for vengeance. Maybe things could've been different if he hadn't made such a disastrous mistake. But then an opportunity arises for Aiden to learn more about his fallen comrade, to get to know him even beyond the grave. And like death, everything that follows could make or break the rebellion. Note: This story contains a subplot featuring a romance between two boys. It's presented as normal. If you have a problem with the lgbt+ community, then this isn't the book - or authour - for you.

Only one survived the massacre: Araneth, a mother from the Thalwyn Clan, who fled with her unborn child.

She raised her daughter, Neravyn Solalith, teaching her how to survive in a world that would never accept them, even as the scars of their lost heritage festered within her. But when the soldiers return, hunting the last of the Viravyn, Araneth's final sacrifice ignites the spark of vengeance in her daughter's heart. Now, Neravyn must journey into the heart of the forest that once belonged to her people. The curse of her bloodline will lead her toward the truth of her mother's sacrifice, the truth of the gems that bind her fate, and the truth of a revenge that will burn the world to its core.
