Pay the Price

Cover and characters are mine, but a few of the ideas come from the book series 'Throne of Glass', author: Sarah J.Maas.

There are trigger warnings that must be considered before proceeding with reading, including child abuse, kidnapping, torture, trauma, suicide attempts, mention of spirits and death. Please disregard this story if these are sensitive topics for you.

Brief overview:
Christopher Aetos, born in Greece and moved to a somewhat remote and somewhat populated town in Spain, as well as the youngest of a set of triplets, was taken from his family at the age of five years old, no less than five minutes after happy birthday was sung to him, and his siblings, Connor and Myrah. Over the course of ten years, he had been tortured and abused by his captors, whose goal was much more malicious than he could've realised. He lost a friend during that time period and after escaping to return to his family, he began to discover secrets about himself he didn't expect.

He meets someone who soon becomes a person he can rely on in hard times, who does everything she can to help and protect him alongside Connor, Myrah, and their older sister Delilah, and becomes one who becomes dear to his heart, the one he falls in love with. He finds out he has power that he himself can't comprehend and goes through experiences no one else had.

There is power he gains, and things he loses, discoveries he made, finding more questions than answers along the way. What shocks him the most was the memory of a friend. A friend who could read the fates of people due to a power given to him at birth. But the fate of one person couldn't be read. Christopher's fate.

No one and nothing could read it clearly. Not a single person could know what his future were to hold, what his fate was to be. Nothing.

Because he was chosen to pay the price.
