Of Demons in Men: The Moonflower's Lament

All Rights Reserved ©

Summary

Some souls are not born whole. Some loves are not meant to be gentle. In a secluded world of prayer, discipline, and quiet devotion, a young woman lives unaware that her soul is already being watched. Ancient powers stir in the shadows-some seeking redemption, others seeking control. What god's broke demands repair. Demons who speak in riddles and remember her from before she remembers herself. And destiny begins to press its weight upon her breath. This is not a romance. It is long awaited reckoning. Of Demons and Men is a dark, mythic fantasy about power that answers desire, the violence of being chosen, and the thin, dangerous line between protection and possession.

Prologue

In this realm where the deeds of gods echo among men,every whisper of heaven casts a shadow upon the earth.So it was, and so it shall be,that youth is tested by sorrow,and tribulation shapes the marrow of the soul.

The immortals play their games with lives of others,and mortals pay the price in blood and longing.Punishments ripple through generations,yet love endures as stone:unyielding, unforgotten.

Dragons rise, fox spirits dance,and even the gods tremble, before the entanglement of desire.For what greater contest is there than the struggle for love?

Mortals were placed here to bow to the heavens, fox spirits, to mock them.And thus begins the Moonflower’s Lament,rooted in temple stone,watered by a quiet storms tears,blooming beneath a pitiless sky.
