Berja

By: J.K Divia

Narrated by: Daphne Fields

“They will make you a mother of monsters . . .”

A village built on ancient promise. A woman destined to run.

The old ways are crumbling. Every spring, a new sacrifice is chosen—a Spring Maid bred to seed the future of the village through a ritual before being led to the foreboding woods. But this season will mark the end of a barbaric tradition and the birth of something even more horrifying.

There’s a war coming—one of gods and giants. The Spring Maid has been chosen by a force far greater than her to be the mother of great warriors.

Destiny has forged a path of bloodshed, and she is the center of it all, willingly or not.

But she is no Spring Maid, no sacrifice to be made.

She is Berja.

The writing style....it was almost lyrical and just flowed so beautifully.

The story....for me I strongly associated this with motherhood and how our choices can lead our children but ultimately who they choose to be is up to them. Love is such a powerful thing but it can also be your downfall.
