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

We flew over the ocean, none of us said a word to each other. It had been like this for a few hours.

Puff occasionally glanced back at me with a worrying look at first, I guessed he expected me to tell him to turn back but after a while, when I did no such thing, he stopped glancing back. I was not sure where we were going but it certainly was not east. My tears had dried up and I was just staring into space.

I did not feel anything, nothing at all. I did not want to. I just wanted to forget it, to dump it into one of my many buried memories.

I rested my head against Puff's back and hugged him tightly. He did not look back, he just flew on.

"Go east, Puff." I whispered, though I was not sure he would hear me. But he swerved and turned east so he definitely heard me.
