Author Description

One's salvation is always bought with another's damnation.<br/><br/>Only weeks have passed since Yanatan’s life fell apart. That fateful hunt on the outback left her alone in a world which scorns her as a beast, robbed of her mentor and embroiled in an inexplicable conspiracy. Her closest remaining ally is the conceited nobleman Kassandro Bascongia, who provides her work on his family’s land. There she toils to unravel the mystery which now plagues her every waking- and dreaming- moment.<br/><br/>Even this is stifled when an ally of House Bascongia calls for aid. Deep in the shadowy swamps of Omyx, something is killing House Setroan’s men. The local beastfolk are the prime suspects. As a beast herself within this kingdom of humanity, Yanatan is pulled away from her research. Her mission: infiltrate a town posing as a simple traveler, and learn what its people know about the murders. However, House Setroan’s oppressive rule complicates her mission, keeping the townsfolk wary despite her efforts and feelings of kinship.<br/><br/>Haunted by grief and made to solve all woes but her own, Yanatan feels her patience waning. She craves peace, yet the political machine around her drags her deeper into its gears. And all the while, something just as ravenous and cruel lurks in the darkest recesses of the swamp. Can she stop this mysterious killer before they strike again? Can she find respite in a world which seems to hold no place for her?<br/><br/>Book Two of the ONYX CROWN series, WHERE EELS SLEEP is a gritty heroic fantasy adventure laden with twists, thrills, and intrigue!
