The Cursed Mother

The Cursed Mother by C.M. HerouxA child born of fire. A mother marked by fate. A quiet village on the edge of the storm.In the snowbound village of Morrathal, a miracle is born: Lyric-the first child to survive the bitter winters in years. For Ishida and Kâllen, her arrival is more than a blessing. It is hope-fragile, burning, and fiercely alive.But peace is short-lived in a world where old powers stir and fate weaves cruelly. As festivals give way to omens and whispers in the dark, Ishida must choose: open the village to the world in search of a better life for her daughter-or protect what little they have, no matter the cost.Told in lyrical, immersive prose, The Cursed Mother is a slow-burn fantasy rooted in love, grief, and impossible choices. This is not the tale of chosen heroes, but of ordinary people doing the extraordinary-clinging to family in a world on the brink.How far would you go to protect what's most precious? Would you burn everything you ever knew?
