Vengeance by Anna Carven

They took my world from me.

It wasn’t much of a world to begin with, but the forest village where I was born and raised is everything to me.

They took me away from there, wrapped me in silks, and pierced my flesh with their glittering trinkets.

They made me an object of desire, to be given to a man who has terrorized and subjugated my people.

He thinks he can defy the gods, but I have other ideas.

I don’t care what happens to me anymore. Nobody’s going to save me.

I just want to make him pay.
