Amara's Curse
"Human emotions are selfish - it is hard to control. It can consume you, and you won't even know until it's too late. And among these emotions, love is the worst of them all..."
I drew the vial closer to her lips and made her drink the potion. As quickly as she finished the vial, I fed her milk to help soothe its awful taste as I lulled her to sleep. This potion will help you build the walls you need to protect yourself.
"You will not feel love or any emotion that is dangerous to your heart. They cannot hurt someone who feels nothing. You don't have to trust them, my child. You only need yourself" Little Amara started to drift to sleep, and before she closed her purple eyes, the orbs that once shone and sparkled now dimmed. Like her father's, it is now void. Like a never-ending abyss of nothing.
"This gift is not a curse, this is a blessing. You will thank me when you are older"
-------------------------------------------
Amara Millicent Wright is the female heir to her father's throne. Born from a loveless union, Amara never knew what it means to love and feel loved. In fear that her daughter would suffer the same fate as her, Beatrix - Amara's mother gave Amara a gift that would protect her from what she saw as the greatest enemy of all - Love.
Amara grew up strong and independent, thanks to her mother's gift.
But what will happen when she meets a man who's ready to challenge her and her heavily guarded heart. Conflict builds inside her as she starts to feel things, she never thought she would feel.
This made her question things that she was once sure of the answer.
Is Love really the enemy?
Is her gift a blessing or a curse?
