On Freedis Island, being chosen by the goddess is every woman’s dream, a chance to leave and fulfill a divine purpose. Nicole Scarlett has spent years yearning for that honor, just like her mother before her.

But when she is finally chosen, she learns the truth. The women don’t leave. They are sacrificed, fed to a monstrous creature while the men watch in silence.

Left for dead, Nicole awakens a power she never knew she had. Now, she’s out for revenge. The men of Freedis built this world on the blood of women. She will burn it to the ground.

Blood of the Chosen

He gritted his teeth as tears flowed freely from his eyes. Seeing him cry was a bit refreshing and I hoped he would continue to cry until I decide to end up killing him. Sweat trickled down his face as he swallowed hard, he could not move his leg, he could not get the ice that cut through his leg out and he was losing oxygen, fast.

I contemplated just killing him off there and then but I decided against it. I would not be able to navigate the villagers on my own.

Despite my exhaustion, I managed to get up on my own two feet, if they would not come to meet me out of fear for the monsters, I was going to go meet them. And if they tried to attack me, I had my powers for protection.

With slow and steady steps, I moved out of the heap of dead bodies, the ice encasing the village chief, floating behind me, following me closely. The villagers watched as I emerged from the mountain of bodies, some of them took steps back out of fear.
