When he gives a village two options—bow or die—his cruelty becomes legend. But even monsters have questions. A ragged old pot, nearly discarded, sparks a violent reaction from his Master. Why? What power lies hidden in the dust of forgotten things? As darkness closes in, only the girls stand between fate— and the fall of everything. © 2025 Victoria Nakayenga. All rights reserved.
