When tragedy struck his unit, and Geoffrey was left as the sole survivor, he did not resent the heavens, nor did he curse his God. As far as he was concerned, it was divine punishment for his sins. Even if bringing witches to the stake had been his duty as a soldier, it wouldn’t wash off the blood on his hands. Nothing could.

But then, as he awaited death, a strange being picked him up, only to bring him to his dwelling to treat his wounds. His impending doom was put on hold, and Geoffrey now had to face a reality he had been pretending not to know for years—could he accept that spirits weren’t demons, and witches weren’t evil doers?

Whatever the answer, Geoffrey still had to get used to living with a being that was clearly not human, and who, he’d been told all his life, brought disasters to the land.

ambiguous ending, prequel

NOTE: This story isn’t exactly a BE, and it’s certainly not a HE (unless you take into account a distant future). If you’re in search of something joyous from beginning to end, I wouldn’t recommend it. It’s also a prequel, which means a book will follow up one day. However, it can be read on its own. Anyway, enjoy! ♥

Psst, the story is completed, so I’ll be updating it in the next few days.
