Default Title - I Hate Them

Born beneath the shadow of tragedy, Hesperia Sartori entered the world already cursed. Her mother died the night she was born, and her father-once a man of wealth and honor-rejected her with venom, branding her the child of misfortune. Abandoned at a church and raised in whispers of fear, she grew up with nothing but scorn for company and her own mismatched eyes as a reminder of the curse everyone believed she carried.

But hatred is not only a wound-it is a seed.

As Hesperia struggles to survive in a world that has cast her aside, she begins to hear whispers from the dark, voices that promise strength in exchange for surrender. With every rejection, every cruel glance, every false prayer, her heart sharpens into steel.

This is not a tale of forgiveness.
This is not a tale of hope.
This is the tale of a girl who learned to wield her pain as a weapon-
and of the world that will learn to regret ever hating her.
