Description
Shy Dawn, kinless and scorned by the townspeople, lives quietly on the edge of the village. It's a lonely existence, but she clings to the fact that her life could be far worse. Skilled as an apothecary, she holds no ill will of anyone and never turns away a person that needs her help. But what if that person is not human, but a dangerous creature feared by humanity in an ever-decimating world? Dawn finds a theron, a shapeshifting creature typically renowned as dangerous, in critical condition and dying by the roadside. Will she go against her morals? Or try to help him and risk further prejudice, or worse, her life. How she comes to a decision all starts with a drink at the bar... ⭕ STATUS: Complete 💬 LANGUAGE: Australian English [en-AU] 🔸 WORD COUNT: 10,000 approx // novelette ✨ WINNER of the Wattpad JustWriteIt challenge: February 2023 - Love Is In The Air ✨ WINNER of the Wattpad Amby Awards 2023: Romance - short story category ⚠️ Recommend ages 13+ Post-apocalyptic style setting.
