Hateful Tales II

A Tale of Unyielding Villains
Release Date: 26th September 2026
An ex-priestess with telekinetic powers and a sharpshooting rogue traverse the frosts to rid the land of a seemingly unassailable threat
Departing the desert city of Bal’kar, Aela and Spade journey north out of the scorching sands of Lamdak into the frozen wasteland of Koritoth.
With a vendetta against her former gods, Aela is determined to put a stop to them, unaware that the Church of the Fates has a dedicated executioner for Feral Seraphs such as her.
Seeking aid across both regions from mortals, deities, and mystical creatures, Aela and Spade journey through unforgiving terrain rife with dangers whilst stalked by a formidable void mage and a colossal demon.

Reviews
“Ah… the dialogue. It’s possibly the best part of the story, you know? It’s moving the story forward, revealing characters, and most if not all characters talk with their own unique voices.” - Beta Reader
”Your character development was amazing. I was able to see your characters grow throughout the story.” - Beta Reader
”I keep thinking of the protagonists long after reading the entire story.” - Beta Reader
”I love how complicated this world building is and in the gradual way you dole it out to us so it doesn’t get so overwhelming. I also loved how you handled gods, deities and the like. They felt appropriately big/larger than life and I definitely got a sense of their vast power and immense presence.” - Beta Reader
