The Veil Between Gods and Monsters

Maira is a prisoner to her past. Bound by the chains of her cruel master, she broke free and ascended into a life free from the gilded cage that she was bound. She sought freedom in the East, far into the barren lands past the treacherous wasteland that feasts on the flesh of those unfortunate to step foot in its unbearable heat. There she fell in love with a cartographer and had a family she only envisioned in her dreams. But likes all dreams it must come to end. And her dream had ended in a flaming fury.

Bound by an oath of revenge, Maira crosses the cursed wasteland and into the vipers nest that is called Emir, an Empire ruled by greed and corruption. There she hunts, thirsting for blood of those who killed her family. Her sights are laser-focused, her grief fuelling her determination. She is on the hunt, and no one remains unscathed.

However, the longer she remains in the den of vipers, she comes to learn that all is not as it seems for secrets are traded in the dark and the man she hunts, General Wilton, may not be who she thought for a bigger threat lies in the shadows waiting to strike.

But there is one thing that you should know about Maira: for the girl is born in the dark, she is who controls it. And whatever hides in the secrecy of shadows, will not remain for long.
