Two Cursed Souls

For thousands of years, the citizens of Asterria have lived at odds with the reclusive Clans who dwell within the Mountains of Donoa, and in recent times the tension has begun to erupt. An act of self defense which led to two lives lost spurred hostility on both sides, and a vindictive witch seeking revenge for the life of her slain kin invoked a dark curse upon Asterria's twin Princes.

Now, two centuries past, Kyran and Konan Renhael have lived in fear of the manifestation of their curse as tensions continue to rise. The Clans have been lashing out with increasing aggression and most fear open attacks will soon follow, but as dark impulses and blooded bodies begin to follow in the Princes' wake, it is clear the Clans are not their only concern. In an effort to find a way to break the curse before it is too late, Kyran travels to a Clan village seeking the Matrons, the same circle of witches as the one who originally cursed him and his brother.

There he meets the wild and cunning Ylva, one of the heads of the Matron order. Working his way into her good graces could get him closer to finding a way to break the curse, or ensnare him in a new one entirely. Either way, only one thing remains certain. Failure will leave Asterrians drowning in blood, and mark the dawn of another Dark Age.

Warning: This book, while being a work of fiction, still deals with real and mature elements. There will be chapters dealing with manipulation, emotional and verbal abuse, gore, PTSD, torture, sexual content, and other topics. Please be aware if you are sensitive to such content.
