Book Blurb:
Athena Harrow is about to turn twenty-one,
but there will be no celebration. What is there to celebrate when the world is
ruled by demons?
She hates the darkness the demons brought
with them and longs for the light to return to the world—a world she only
vaguely remembers. The people in her forest village blindly accept the life the
demons forced upon them, even tolerating the yearly ascension ceremony where
all the girls who have turned twenty-one are either sent away to serve the
Master Demon or left in the village and forced to procreate.
But Paymon, the assigned village demon,
selects a different role for Athena, a role that pits her against the village.
While she adapts to her new life, Erebus, a younger, more powerful demon,
arrives, and Athena must play a dangerous game with his emotions in return for
information about the demon’s reign of darkness.
As Athena’s dreams of restoring the light
begin to fade, her life with Erebus takes an unexpected turn, and this time
it’s her life being put to the test.
Set in the forest around Buttercrambe in
North Yorkshire, England, INIQUITY explores the frightening, darker side of
romance and the uncontrolled emotions it can unleash.
About
the Author:
Growing up, Melody showed a natural
ability in art, a head for maths, and a tendency to write too long English
essays. Difficult to place in the world when she graduated, she pursued a
career in teaching, but ended up working in finance. Melody is convinced the
methodical times she spends working with numbers fuel her desire to drift into
dream worlds and write about the illusory characters in her head.
Melody Winter lives in York, North
Yorkshire, England with her husband and two sons. When not dealing with
football, rugby, and a whole plethora of ‘boy’ activities, she will be found
scribbling notes for her stories, or preparing for another trip to the nearby
beaches at Scarborough and Whitby. With an obsession for anything mythical,
Melody revels in reading and writing about such creatures, and creating her
own.
