The Curse of the Blessed

In a kingdom torn apart by hatred and discrimination, a race of gifted people referred to as seers are hunted and banished due to their powers of sight. To be a seer is a death sentence, and they are feared by everyone in the kingdom for their legendary abilities to see and manipulate the future. The distinguishing marks of a seer are known only by specific members of the aristocracy and soldiers as a means to prevent mass terror. Aiden Lorian, the king's royal assassin, is tasked with one job: find the hidden seer villages and eradicate them. A contract binds him to his duty, one he cannot risk breaking, even as each village he discovers and purges slowly breaks him. Camari Dorsar is the nineteen-year old daughter of a protective healer in a small, reserved village, tired of the mundane and longing for more. Her mother lives in fear of the world and tries but fails to instill that same fear into Camari. Due to a twist of fate, Camari and Aiden's paths cross, changing their lives in an irreversible way. Their relationship reveals secrets on both sides, and challenges both of them to face truths they didn't know existed and powers far beyond their control. But there is still an ocean of personal and political secrets between them, threatening to wash them away entirely. Can they withstand the lies of their fracturing kingdom, or will they sink beneath the centuries of secrets and deceit, becoming nothing more than a wreckage in the wasteland that is history?
