Everyone
likes a hero, but this hero has a true cause, forged in childhood
by the horror which then sets his feet on the path of righteousness
and vengeance—well that’s a hero to cheer for
and one most readers will fall in love with.

By far one of the best contest entries I’ve ever read! The hero gives me butterflies and a blind heroine is VERY intriguing. The paranormal elements are woven deftly into the story and the setting is original and vivid.
—RTTA Contest Judge, Score: 150/150
Everything about your characters draws the reader in. You’ve put the reader in the perspective of a blind woman beautifully, using her senses to guide us on her journey.
