Book Description
She will never forget the first time she died, and neither will you. In a world where people lived and died in the trade given to them in childhood, we have Calixta, the youngest madam from the best brothel in town. She died, saving the lives of two innocent people. When she reached the antechamber of the destination, she discovered she had her destiny to fulfill. So, they sent her back to life with some unique gifts. In a society where her trade was accepted by some, tolerated by most, and hated by a few, she needed to overcome her unmoving place in society to reach her destiny. After all, fortunes are not freely given; they must be fought for and encountered. The chase to destroy her was on; Evil wanted her dead once and for all. Vanquisher Dreyden found Calixta in the worst of conditions, and he reluctantly helped her. Mages, the bringers of peace and order to chaos, had to be protected, and Dreyden needed Calixta to help him. However, Calixta needs training, and Dreyden needs to fight his apprehensions. But she almost roasts Dreyden alive for his lack of respect. They must fight all the demons on their way to collect their team members. They were running out of time. They are running for their lives. Will the next time she dies be the last? This is a fantasy that has romance as a side effect. It has an ounce of action and adventure and a pinch of horror. It will make you angry; it might make you afraid of the dark and strange bald men. And there's a high chance Calixta will make you cry.
