They Called Her Demon
In the burned lands of Netheros, where red skies weep ash and the soil remembers screams, a young Mal’karin girl named Nyra watches her world turn to fire. Branded as a monster for the horns on her head and the shadow in her skin, she survives the purge of her village, alone, wounded, hunted.
Crossing into the Mortal Realm of Elyriath, Nyra becomes a ghost in a world that wants her erased. Beaten, hated, and nearly killed, salvation comes not from a blade, but from a boy, Siegfried, a human with too much kindness and too little sense.
As Nyra hides in the woods and heals in the shadows, the world moves against her. Whispers of a demon child reach knights sworn to cleanse the realm. But the longer she survives, the more questions arise. What really caused the purge? Why do the crows always watch her? And what is the power sleeping beneath her scars?
In a world built on hatred and fear, They Called Her Demon is a dark, emotional coming-of-age tale about identity, survival, and the bonds we choose, when the world offers none.
