Fantasy, Lore, & More: The Shadow Sisters

Hi, I’m indie fantasy author, Melinda Kucsera, and in this episode, Matthew Cesca joined me to talk about his fantasy book, The Shadow Sisters.What’s it about?A life of lies and betrayal.Anjia has trained her entire life to become a Sister of the Temple of Kyrsma, Goddess of Love and Light. She knows one of two fates await her on Ascension Day, a life of service or a gruesome death. But as the day of her ascension comes and she is sworn to the temple, her life is no longer her own. A terrible truth is revealed to her — the temple is corrupted by the shadow demon, Khimital. And with her ascension, Anjia is now bound to it.Along with the other sisters of the Temple, Anjia is forced to work as an assassin for the Khimital, whose only desire is to spread darkness in the world once strong with Kyrsma’s light. With each mission, the sisters perform unspeakable acts that darken their souls. Defiance is met with dominance as each sister learns that having the Khimital’s influence take control of their bodies is worse than carrying out these deadly deeds on their own.The Khimital is not without benevolence though. With each mission completed, the Khimital offers new powers and mastery of the shadows. Anjia must accept this new life that was thrust upon her and the sins she must commit in the Khimital’s name. The longer Anjia is forced to serve, the deadlier she becomes. And the more power the Khimital gives her, the more she begins to embrace this new destiny…Where to get the book:https://www.amazon.com/Shadow-Sisters-Matthew-Cesca-ebook/dp/B0FP9QX6QGhttps://matthew-cesca-shop.fourthwall.com/products/signed-copy-of-the-shadow-sisters-paperback https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-shadow-sisters-matthew-cesca/1148428439Where to find our guest:Website: www.mattcesca.com@authormattcesca on Tiktok, Instagram, & ThreadsWhere to find your host:Melinda’s website: https://melindakucsera.com/Melinda’s Substack: https://www.melinda-kucsera.com/embed
