The Black Stars of Melanin by TheBlackStarWriter

A pure heart is purged of its innocence. Amber eyes, burn and seethe at the cruelties of the world. Love gives way to hate. Justice bows to vengeance. And the skies are eclipsed as the Black Stars descend from the skies... My novel, tackles and highlights the nuances of man. The ever tipping scales of right and wrong, within his heart. The snowballing effect of oppression, that gives birth to 'monsters' demonised for repaying the blood debt they owe their aggressors. As well as religion and other interesting fantasy aspects. Even if my writing touches just one soul, I'll be satisfied. Take care everyone 🖤
