fantasy goddess love redemption

Amethia Chrysalis was once a celestial being, a radiant Aasimar chosen by the gods. But one fateful mistake cost her everything-her wings, her divine purpose, and her place among the stars. Now, she walks the mortal realm as a Fallen, her back scarred where her wings were torn away, a constant reminder of her failure. Haunted by regret and desperate for redemption, Amethia embarks on a perilous journey to prove herself worthy once more.

With Salem, her enigmatic two-headed feline companion, by her side, she traverses sacred lands tainted by darkness, encountering lost souls, vengeful spirits, and the echoes of a past that refuses to let go. Along the way, she crosses paths with Arthur, a mysterious figure whose own demons intertwine with hers in ways she never expected. As her celestial and shadowed powers battle within her, Amethia must decide: will she reclaim the light that once defined her, or will she embrace the darkness whispering in her soul?

With the gods watching and the fate of more than just her own soul hanging in the balance, Amethia must face the truth-redemption is never given. It is earned.

Perfect for fans of fantasy, celestial lore, and deeply personal journeys of self-discovery, 'A light in the dark' is a gripping tale of loss, power, and the unyielding hope for a second chance.All Rights Reserved

Hephaestus & Aphrodite by Tonicon

Series 1 BOOK 3 Orginal Release 2014 As we got closer, my eyes were glued to her. Her pink lips which contrasted with her naturally pale skin. Her platinum blonde hair beamed with a radiance of inexplicable luminescence. Is she real? I thought as the distance closed between us. She pushed her hair behind her ear exposing her clear nails and taintless skin. Her eyes were viridescent as she blinked and looked upon my existence. Then she smiled a seraphic smile leaving me blind and breathless. My heart felt like it would burst out of my chest and my mind became clogged. Who was this woman? Who was this goddess?

The line between duty and desire blurs, and the weight of destiny grows heavier with each step. Betrayal lurks in the shadows, and as her power wanes, she must confront the question she fears most: if she was sent to bring salvation, why does it feel like she is the one being undone?
