Gates of Monsters

This story began with a tiny bundle, a dark forest, a kind priest, and a deformity. The baby left for execution turned out to be six-fingered—and that meant only one thing: in front of the priest was a future witch, a malefic, whose abilities are so dangerous that they will inevitably drive the gifted one into madness. It’s only a matter of time. These children belong in a maleficorum, where they are taught, trained to control themselves, and turned into weapons of the Church. And then Chonsa grew up. Behind her were a passed war, years of imprisonment while waiting for execution, hundreds of errands, and two valorous warriors ready to end her life at the first signs of madness. Chonsa dreams of only one thing: to escape and taste freedom. And the ancient prophecies begin to form a picture full of possibilities—because when the very Heavens collapse and monsters besiege the land, everyone shows their true nature.
