Trickery (Curse of the Gods, #1)

by Jaymin Eve

Yael had eyes that were mostly green, with only a little gold in them. His hair was also darker, with more black than gold. His colours made him seem almost earthy:

I tossed out my hands to catch myself, forgetting that I was holding the knife … And that was how I stabbed a God in Topia.

“How the hell have you stayed alive this long?” he asked. I shrugged, trying to catch my breath. “No idea, it’s been a rough road.”

The sound of splintering wood was like music to my ears. I kicked again, my energy renewed, the adrenaline of a possible escape rushing right through me, making it so much easier to ignore the pain. Eventually, I managed to separate the door from its lock entirely, and then I was prying it open. Take that, bitch-face, I growled internally, not even sure if I was aiming the curse at Elowin, or the door.

But the wing couldn’t do shit against a soul-splintered dweller, with an in-built tracking device leading right back to her Abcurses.
