Daughter Darkness (The Myrk Maiden Trilogy)

What if you were born to destroy the world... not save it?15-year-old Twilight dreams of a better life away from her uncaring family, longing for purpose and adventure. When her humdrum existence is soon shattered forever, she is thrust into the wickedly enticing realm of the Shadows, a society of sorcerers who look to her as their living salvation from the light. As darkness seeps into Twilight's soul, she comes to live by three words - "maim and kill." In this brutal coming-of-age tale, young Twilight finds herself tangled in a twist of existential crises, divine dangers, and monstrous mishaps as she navigates the various bends and turns of her new life, always wondering whether she should obey her "true nature" and remain in the dark - or fight for a glimpse of light beyond the Shadows' compound walls.A Literary Titan Award-winning book.REVIEWS:"The Myrk Maiden is no lite fare, and Charpentier writes with a potency that is thrilling and smacks of a seasoned, accomplished author."— Mark Justice, author of Gauge Black: Hell's Revenge and Death's Head: The Eye of Samedi"A stunning and refreshing dark fantasy novel."— Donny Winter, best-selling author of Carbon Footprint and Feats of Alchemy“A captivating story that consistently teeters on the edges of light and darkness.
