Description
Unbelievable power. Immortality. All it costs is a surrender to dark desire. As a child, she was mocked and abused, called talentless and worthless. Now Netta Oleander lives in exile, dreaming of one day forgetting shame and fear so palpable to her still that it shakes her. She has been running away for longer than most Humans live, escaping also nightmares that once whispered a dark absolution into her ear. She fears not just her fellow Witches, but the very font of magic, Monsters. One extremely persistent Monster in particular. She hides from a potential that no Human would ever be capable of, even as she knows that she is slowly dying from her exile. To be a full fledged Witch would mean becoming part of a heritage that would give Netta power, but it also promises to put her face to face with the embodiment of her greatest fear. A naive love-- As well as a taboo, nearly all consuming lust. Soon, Netta realizes that she had not truly escaped the secret world of Witchcraft, the whispered promise of profane eroticism, magic, and possession. As surely as magic sings in her blood, it enchains her, dragging her back into shadows so dark they promise to swallow whole. //This is the author's preferred version of *Exquisite Poison*, not a sequel, and contains in-depth revisions as well as additional content. This will be the second draft that is free to read at the moment, with a planned final draft to come for sale one day.\\
