<p> A high fantasy drama about a young woman who finds out a demon secret. This secret sparks a growing conflict between demons and humans. While trying to save her own life and dealing with the unexpected consequences of her actions, she falls in love with a hated demon. </p> <p> </p> <p> We follow the drama of Lita, alongside a cast of several other POV characters, as she discovers secrets (both open and purposefully hidden), makes well intentioned but sometimes disastrous decisions, and encounters prejudices and truths. </p> <p> </p> <p> Demons may be evil… or not. Humans may be good… or not. God is aloof… or not. </p> <p> </p> <p> Several notes for those who want to pass on feedback. </p> <p> </p> <p> This is my first real work. The short paragraphs are on purpose (to make it easier to read on a phone). And keeping descriptions to a minimum is also on purpose. </p> <p> </p> <p> While I believe the story is too mature for younger-than-a-15-year-old reader, I don't spend a lot of time describing gore, sex, trauma or any other type of scene that would be labeled as mature. I've labeled the story as mature in every way more because I don't quite understand the standard and don't know if I've crossed the line at all (and I'd rather be safe than get my story rejected for under labeling ;)). </p> <p> </p> <p> Mostly I hint, start the scene then interrupt/fade out, and in general let the reader know it happens but without making it <i> too </i> explicit. (I'd love to hear how I did on this! And if it was still entertaining/informative without being traumatizing.) This is what I prefer to read myself so that's what I write. I'm not apologizing. ;) If I mislabeled my mature content it was by accident. </p> <p> </p> <p> And, yes, the pacing was also on purpose. </p> <p> Beyond that, I welcome any feedback you want to give! Enjoy the story! </p>
