Terratrope

Terratrope is the story of young Ava Chattan’s conflicts of familial piety, race relations, and personal ambition. She and Henrik Meyer, her liege and owner, struggle for their respective places in the kingdom of Eulenroth, ruled by the mistrusting Grand Lord Geier. The Grand Lord’s suspicion and hatred of terratropes, a race of shapeshifters, fuels a raid that plunges Ava into a world of slavery, violence, and racism. This dark fantasy follows the youth and maturation of Ava, who is torn between her plans to avenge her family and her desire to emancipate her siblings. In the meantime, she must come to grips with the stirrings of adulthood and the dangers of her forbidden pit fighter position in society. Henrik is a noble practitioner courting Grand Lord Geier’s favor by perfecting discoveries in the fields of alchemy and medicine while becoming increasingly fond of his slaves. In a society that does not allow breaches in station, Ava and Henrik must choose between their potentially disastrous desires and the well-being of their loved ones.
