Orpheus brings a human sacrifice to the Veil, where he lives and where demons reside, every ten years in return for a protective ward from the terrorizing Demons. She is the only survivor of her family’s massacre, and regarded as a sign of doom and leads a solitary, lonely life. Reia resides away from her tribe on the edges of a community that is walled in and enclosed. The first book in Duskwalker Brides series takes place in a universe where demons actually exist and feed on people, growing more humane as they do so. All that Orpheus only ever desired was a companion. He has an ethereal skull face and glowing eyes, and she unintentionally becomes fascinated by him. Her village presents her with one decision when the time comes for the next offering and a terrifying Duskwalker is spotted traveling in their direction: be sent to the prison or consent to being sacrificed to the monster.īut the faceless monster is not who he seems to be. Reia is outcast by her entire town since she is thought to be a bringer of bad luck and also is accountable for demons devouring her family.

She flourishes in writing character driven and plot driven books while adding some enchanting imagery.įreedom was all Reia ever desired. She became a writer thanks to her love for books and also because she wanted to build a world full of mythological creatures while at the same time showing the beauty of existence of all ethnicities.

Please note that we are not a literary review podcast, and we fully admire the work of all authors who write in these genres. We discuss the more intimate happenings of these non-human encounters in excruciating detail, and try to laugh at ourselves along the way.
