A Vision of Ruin
The Book of Payne Series, Book 2
By R.P. Dunwater
It's Mariela's turn to change the world.
A Vision of Ruin is the second installment in the Book of Payne series. It’s a dark fantasy novel featuring a clairvoyant female lead, a fresh take on angels and demons, queer found family, and a world in chaos.
Mariela Rossi’s only desire was to be a supportive wife to Eleanor Payne, High Priestess of Ebroth.
But when Eleanor’s rash actions at the Harvest Festival incite the wrath of the High Priestesses of Dienna, Mariela finds herself pushed into the spotlight.
Left behind, Mariela must lead the survivors of Blackridge in picking up the broken pieces of their village, all while learning to navigate new clairvoyant powers of her own.
Just as it seems the village is on the mend, a terrifying vision foretells the new horror that will befall Blackridge. And there’s only one way to prevent it from coming true:
Mariela must put an end to Eleanor’s reign of destruction.
But will stopping her wife be enough, or are the people of Ebroth now trapped in a war they have no hope of winning?
