Fortune Favors the Cruel — Kel Carpenter

The Witcher meets Black Jewels in this twisted yet alluring dark fantasy tale.Quinn Darkova, freed from the chains of slavery, wants nothing more than vengeance against those who sold her. But with her dark powers on the rise and her ascension nearing, Quinn's blood retribution will have to wait in favor of her immediate survival.Lazarus Fierté is a nobleman without equal. He's as controlling as he is stubborn, and for the last six years he's been waiting for a woman to appear—but not just any woman. A Maji of great power, capable of terrible things. She could be the key to everything he holds dear.His savior ... or his destroyer.The only thing he didn't predict was that she would become both.Author's Note: There are no heroes here. Quinn isn't a heroine that needs saving. You'll be disappointed if you expect this to follow normal story conventions and decisions that good people would make. Neither Quinn nor Lazarus are good, and they quite like it that way. You have been warned.
