Goddess of Death

Beschreibung

THIS IS NOT THE SPECIAL EDITION VERSION OF THE BOOK. Having been taken from her home as a child after her parents made a deal with the Sea Goddess out of fear, Ocevia Kallallis became one of Miris' enslaved mermaids, tasked with luring souls to the depths for the remainder of her life. It was a lonely existence, with only the screams of her nightmares keeping her company. Until she met Azure Galanides, that is. After living her first eighteen years as a human, Azure was forced to make a deal with the Sea Goddess when her little sister drowned, trading her life for the child's. A stubborn nature, and a burning desire to return to her former life, made Azure's transformation into a cursed mermaid something she couldn't help but fight against, even if it meant beatings. Ocevia never broke the rules, however, as her fear of the whip always kept her in check. The decision Azure makes to rescue a human man instead of sacrificing him to the sea forces Ocevia to break out of her monotonous life, becoming something she never imagined she would again, and discovering things she never knew were possible. After years of never dreaming for something more, her longing for the forbidden grows ever stronger as she and her friend fight to escape Miris' reach. Are Ocevia's dreams of freedom and love possible? Or will she spend her entire life as one of the cursed? TRIGGER WARNINGS There are many mature themes throughout this book. It is not intended for readers under 17 years of age. The following themes are explored in Goddess of Death: graphic (consensual) sexual content, captivity/slavery, abduction, graphic descriptions of aberrant violence and torture, vulgar language, and murder.

Autor

C. A. Varian was raised in Lockport, Louisiana, into an often-low-income household. She spent a lot of her childhood fishing, crabbing, and playing school. She loved pretending to be the teacher and assigning work to her cousins. Her love of reading started very young, where she used to complete several books per week in elementary school so she could earn a free personal pizza from Pizza Hut. Even once free pizzas were no longer an option, she still steadily read novels, usually above the reading level for her age group, and loved visiting the library to stock up on books. She started writing poetry and short stories while still in junior high through high school, although she stopped writing, at least for fun, once she had children and went to college. Thankfully, her writing hiatus ended, and she resumed her love for writing.She earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in History, as well as a Master's degree in History. She also worked towards getting her teaching certification. She did almost all of her college education while also being the mother of two children. After graduating from college, she began teaching public school, a career that she continues to this day, currently teaching special education at a local middle school. She's married to a retired military officer, so she spent many years moving around for his career, but they now live in central Alabama, with her youngest daughter, Arianna. Her oldest daughter, Brianna, no longer lives at home and is engaged to be married. She has two Shih Tzus that she considers her children. Boy, Charlie, and girl, Luna, are their mommy's shadows. She also has three cats: Ramses, Simba, and Cookie, as well as five chickens and two ducks.
