"I was born with a terrible curse. My curse has almost gotten me killed several times. My mother, Oizys--goddess of pain, suffering, and misery--defied Artemis once. She told her she would never want to be like her, never being with the one she loved. Artemis was insulted. They fought and eventually Artemis cursed Oizys that the baby girl she was carrying would know the true meaning of pain, and would learn never to cause it. That baby girl happened to be me." ------- Allie has struggled all her life to survive with her curse. What she has learned to do to deal with it will be greatly put to the test when she and two others go on a quest. ------ cover design by @bostonterrier007
