Swords of Karma (English Edition) [Kindle-editie] beoordelingen het boek quotes

“Jeri began muttering the words she learned long ago to take someone’s power for the rite of Mara. She murmured each syllable until her hand burned, her arm seared in pain, and her chest, legs, eyes, and core felt like white fire. She fought the torture and dominated the resistance, forcing the agony into the cold depths of her essence. Deeper and darker it receded, until the excruciating rawness subsided, and Jeri came back to herself, clutching the crown of the mortal at her feet. Jeri removed the obsidian knife from the root of Kat’s body. Kat must live to experience sorrows, death, time, and impermanence in humanity’s full extreme. This would be Jeri’s satisfaction and ultimate victory.” Jeri, a powerful yet emotionally orphaned Immortal, aspires to find love and belonging never offered by her parents. When Jeri’s half-brother is murdered, Jeri blames their manipulative father, Veles. Jeri renounces Veles and apprentices herself to the Immortals of fate. Eventually, overwhelmed by death and the corrupt nature in every being, Jeri decides to destroy all life in the multiverse, disintegrating any Immortal who dares rebel against her. Only an unusual human named Daiden seems to have the power to stop her. Will he, or will he join her in the same conclusion? An addictive, dark, and dystopian fantasy, Swords of Karma is a captivating, gritty debut that reveals the grotesque beauty in all our true natures.
