Curse of the Fallen by H. C. Newell

Today I’m bringing you a promotional post for Curse of the Fallen, the first novel in a six-book fantasy series entitled Fallen Light by author H. C. Newell. I’ve started this novel and I am really liking it so far, I just need a chance to actually sit down and devour it the way it is meant to be. 😀

This Child is not the chosen one. She is a demon to be destroyed.

Born of magic, Nerana is labeled a demon and forced into hiding by the Order of Saro. Living with a curse that binds her to their leader, Nerana seeks to free herself from their hold and soon learns that the path to redemption may prove more fatal than the Order itself.

But for Nerana, this is more than a quest for survival... It's a promise of revenge

Curse of the Fallen is the first installment of the six-book epic fantasy series, Fallen Light, by author H.C. Newell.

(This is our attempt at a bit of fun. We ask our authors to come up with a few short, clever, possibly pop culture laden, descriptions of their books just to give a little taste of what’s to come for readers.)
