The Rise of Spero — Julianne Kelsch

Death wants her. Men fear her. And humanity wants to destroy her. But if death wins, the world dies with her.Kyra has returned to her people after escaping the brutal torment of the Malic'Uiel. She's done what no human has ever done before – she's found freedom after the destruction of her mind. In doing so, she's discovered a power she doesn't understand and doesn't know how to control.The people are terrified. They say she's a witch, a sorceress, a demon – a weapon of the Master of Darkness who has settled in their midst to lead them all to death.They're out for blood – Kyra's blood. If she doesn't uncover the truth and source of her power, she'll face the wrath of those driven by fear and consumed with hate for things they don't understand; she'll be sacrificed to the very master she betrayed: the master of death.She's already given him her soul. This time, there will be no escape.
