Sacrificed to the Goddess

You shouldn't tempt a goddess.



Eleanor knows very well not to draw attention to herself, especially not from the ruthless Soliste. Ever since a bargain binds her to their city, the goddess demands a sacrifice. Each year she is back for more, and those who are picked suffer a horrendous fate. The goddess doesn't know mercy, she only knows hunger.



Still, Eleanor deems herself save from the curse, just like many do. Because it is never someone you know who pays the price. It is never you.



Until it is.
