For millennia, the Feline-kin Kikyo has been a wanderer, a warrior, and a healer. Her power is absolute, capable of pulling souls back from the very brink of death. But this gift is bound to a terrible curse: a pact with a predatory entity that demands an intimate, spiritual price for every miracle performed.
Now, in the quiet village of Cairnwick, Kikyo has found a fragile peace and a family worth protecting. But when a rising darkness in the cursed Whispering Woods begins to strike with a horrifying, calculated malice, that peace is shattered. The pact's cost is transferred to a brave young woman, Elara, who becomes a Lady through her sacrifice, and the evil in the forest begins to target those touched by Kikyo's magic.
Forced to ally with a stoic elven mage, a boisterous dwarven warrior, and a pragmatic ranger, Kikyo must confront the source of the corruption. But as the true nature of her own power is revealed, she faces an impossible choice. To defeat the darkness, will she be forced to embrace the very thing that is destroying her soul, or will she make a final sacrifice that could unmake her world forever?
Heart of the Creator begins an epic fantasy saga of sacrifice, found family, and the terrifying cost of miracles.
This is a dark fantasy novella intended for a mature audience. These mature themes are integral to the story's exploration of sacrifice, trauma, and the difficult paths to healing. Reader discretion is advised. The book contains the following:
Explicit exploration of trauma and moral injury.
Thematic and non-graphical depictions of magical rituals with strong sensual/sexual themes, including dubious consent and metaphysical violation.
Graphic fantasy violence, including injury to a child.
Elements of body horror, including magical aging.
