Phantom Huntress
*****
______________________________________________
Being a warrior was never Zuri Karani's place, as a woman and a part of the most hated race in Canaan, it was a good dream that was never going to happen. Even with the hate-filled oppression she and the villagers face because of their ancestry, she still found her way of life in Pisok, especially with the sword.
Zuri was a village girl who loved the sword, she wasn't anything special or out of the ordinary.
Her only problems were presumably her twin sister's engagement and the need behind it.
But one night changed everything for her.
After witnessing an invasion by Al Manian warriors, and watching dozens of her people die, she felt there was more to her life than swinging a sword and harvesting food.
She never asked to be related to Chini's---ancient demigods with magical abilities who were the land of Canaan's most hated people, neither did she ask to have the power of a Chini, nor did she ask to be the Sevilena, the chosen one amongst Chini’s. But the power came to her like fate, a destiny she couldn't run from.
After her rescue from the Al Manian warriors, for months Zuri was forced to align herself with the Emperor of Kustal himself, Eve Hernun, the son of the man who doomed her people and made them suffer for decades, all for the sake of revenge. She was forced to train amongst sorcerers who hated her because of her ancestry and skin. Her instructor, an elite sorcerer, and her savior was a cruel savage who schemed for her downfall, and she couldn't control the abnormal feelings she had for the redhead who was supposed to be her predicated doom. And then there was Princess Sunie who hated her beyond imagination. She was in a cage with lions, and she had no idea how to escape.
Even with the brutal environment, she was placed in, she kept to herself, following the orders of the charismatic Emperor, who grew stranger by the day. She had to kill the Al Manian bastards who took her life away, her family and friends, and she felt her mind cloud with darkness with nothing but vengeance.
But after finding out the Emperor's true motives involving her and her power, she knew that she could no longer be his pet tied to a leash on his throne.
Zuri was no village girl—that she knew, but she was no demigod either, and the thought of stopping an ancient Emperor with a couple of teenage sorcerers, a boy who hated her guts, her redheaded love, and a broken princess was starting to seem less unlikely. But with the lives of millions on the line, she felt she could no longer hide beneath the shadows, but rise from it, and fight.
