Publisher Note: This Rogue Blades Entertainment edition is no longer in print. The current edition is published by Ragnarok Publications.Cast aside by her mother, tormented (literally) by her father, feared by humans and despised by most of her own kind, Aella is determined not to care. Not to care what they think, not to care if they like her, not to care about anything or anyone. Just so long as no one tries to touch her or imprison her again, Aella couldn't care less. Until...he pulled an arrow from Aella's back and kissed her cheek. Until...she carried Aella home and stood between her and a giant spider. And a rioting mob. Until...they came to Aella looking for help. Aella, daughter of demon and witch, must find herself and forge her own route to a destiny she doesn't want to believe and others simply don't want. At first a heroine in name alone, Aella discovers she has the strength and the heart to control her demonic lineage and truly wear the title - hero. She also finds something even more valuable: friendship. Amelia, her Sword Sister, isn't just worth dying for. She's worth living for.
