Maneater

I often wondered why the prince plucked me from the woods and locked me in his tower of stone. In time, I came to understand that a greedy hand never rests.

Set in a realm of myth, Maneater follows Odessa, a woman torn between two selves. When fate demands a choice—death or divinity—she must decide whether to die as a mortal or live as a god. Her story is a tale of love, betrayal, wrath, and above all, a woman unafraid to become the anti-heroine.
