About this ebook
Her father murdered her mother right in front of her. Of course that left traumatic scars.
But in her quest for revenge, she discovers nothing about her life matches her beliefs.
Confronted with the choice, revenge or truth, she must decide what she is willing to lose…
A very short dark fantasy about that moment when your childhood paradigm shatters—and how you move on through the fallout.

AMY LAURENS is an Australian author of fantasy fiction for all ages. Her story Bones Of The Sea, about creepy carnivorous mist and bone curses, won the 2021 Aurealis Award for Best Fantasy Novella. Amy has also written the award-winning portal-fantasy Sanctuary series about Edge, a 13-year-old girl forced to move to a small country town because of witness protection (the first book is Where Shadows Rise), the humorous fantasy Kaditeos series, following newly graduated Evil Overlord Mercury as she attempts to acquire a castle, the young adult series Storm Foxes, about love and magic and family in small town Australia, and a whole host of non-fiction, both for writers AND for people who don’t live with constant voices in their heads. Other interesting details? Let’s see. Amy lives with her husband and two kids in suburban Canberra. She used to be a high-school English teacher, and she was once chewed on by a lion. (The two are unrelated. It was her right thumb.) Amy loves chocolate but her body despises it; she has a vegetable garden that mostly thrives on neglect; and owns enough books to be considered a library. Of course. Oh, and she also makes rather fancy cakes in her spare time. She’s on all the usual social media channels as @ByAmyLaurens, but you’ve got the best chance of actually getting a response on Instagram or the contact form on her website. <3

WHAT BLOOD CAN DO
––––––––
Eight years ago, my father slaughtered my mother. He tied her down on the dining table with guy ropes and slit her throat with the bread knife. It wasn’t sharp. There was so much blood I thought it would never stop.
I screamed.
I thought I’d never stop.
My father left me there, ten years old and elbow deep in the pulsing river of my mother’s life. He told me he was sorry. My fingers burned to use the knife on him. With blood tingling over my skin, I swore I’d have my revenge.
