The Blessed

The Blessed

My name is Solana, and fate has dealt me a bad hand. Mistakes from my past have left my mind fractured, my people wary of me, and my betrothed cold and distant. I spend my days plotting my escape from the village while my twin cousins follow me as my personal babysitters. Then three outsiders arrive for the hunting season. They quickly learn of the mysterious man-eating creature we fear in the forest, and their leader, Sam, makes a deal for them to stay and help us in our hunt for the beast. Very quickly, Sam is convinced that we have a connection. He doesn’t care that I’m betrothed. He doesn’t care that my mind might be fading. He says he’ll take whatever I give him. When the Maneater attacks again, taking the one person I thought I’d always have by my side, only Sam is left to pick up the pieces of me that remain. We’re both keeping secrets. The cards tell me that the time to confront my devil is coming, but the cards have led me astray before. For the first time in my life, I’m ready to fight for myself and my people. But as my mind continues to spiral, can I bring myself to trust in the cards? Especially when all signs are pointing to a worst case scenario… That the beast isn’t attacking at random. That what it’s really after…is me. The Blessed is a 195k word complete stand-alone, slow/medium burn, angsty paranormal romance with dark themes and adult content meant for readers 18+. Story is written in dual first person POV with a guaranteed HEA. If you love an FMC who grows to overcome the odds set against her, forbidden love, tragic pasts, and indecisive Libras, this book is for you!
