   Summary

   I bared my teeth. At the world, at fate who led me to these halls, at whoever decided I was to be reincarnated into this world, only to be tortured to death.

   I was terrified.

   I stood up, I heard a murmur rippling across the room as I planted my feet and raised my chin. I stared Amarantha in the eyes for the first time, raised a fist, turned it toward my face, and then flipped her off.

   Her face twisting was all the proof I needed to know she understood that gesture.

   I was Aislind Archeron.

   And I would. Not. Bow.

   “Fuck off, you red-headed bitch.”

   This was a good way to die.

    

   ...
   A story about the bond between siblings, a war, and learning how to put yourself first.

   (OMC. Not intended to replace Feyre, just wait and see what I have planned for her.)
