The Star and the Vulture: A dark reverse harem fantasy romance
Deborah J. Martins
In the buried village she grew up in, she’s the one who shovels out every house, kills every monster, and murders the warlocks whose songs keep her people trapped beneath a starless sky. Her reward is an engagement to John, the boy who “rescued” the village…and never lets her forget that everything is her fault.
When only three head warlocks remain, Raina finally meets the monsters she’s been raised to hate. But when she does, she discovers that they bleed, laugh, and grieve in ways the villagers never warned her about. Worse, they claim her mother died creating the very prison Raina is trying to escape, and that the family she’s killing for would happily chain her up and bleed her dry.
Offered one impossible chance at freedom, Raina steps through a portal into Merryland, a world of snow-bright mountains, wishing-forests and nightmare creatures who eat mothers and dreams. There she must find five stolen dragon eggs for the people who raised her...
Or decide if they’re the ones who deserve to burn.
Caught between a cruel fiancé, three terrifying warlocks, and a universe that fears the fire in her veins, Raina has to save the people who broke her, or become the monster they always said she was.
The Star and the Vulture is a reverse harem fantasy romance that takes place in the same universe as The Faerie King, but not in the same world.
