🏆 BEST HOOK AWARD - THE CHOSEN DARKLING 2023 🏆

The Woods must be appeased in order to stop the darkness from spreading into the kingdom.

Paris Lerring, a farm girl from the countryside, is chosen as the next sacrifice. Just when it seems like her life is ending, she discovers that all the other sacrifices before her survived. And they are hungry for payback. The problem? They have to brave the Woods and kill the demons inside it.

Armed with a flimsy knife, an untethered impatience, and a flawed grasp of her new world, Paris is shoved into a system where survival is the only rule to follow and revenge is the only goal to achieve.

She has to stay on this road long enough to see it through before an unexpected loss leads her to a darker path, one she may not escape from alive.

From the author of the award-winning novella, 𝘒𝘰𝘭𝘪𝘣𝘳𝘪𝘦, and the high fantasy series, 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘊𝘩𝘳𝘰𝘯𝘪𝘤𝘭𝘦𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘍𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘴𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘢, comes a story of broken promises, murky bonds, and the price of embracing the darkness in a world where the monsters do not rely on dark nights and starless skies to unsheathe their claws.
