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.
Author Info
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.
