Beneath the Willow Tree (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798575625049)

In Nova's world, everyone is born with Disace's pain inflicting Mark on their skin. Which makes two things impossible to her: a Mark-less man, and being able to trust anyone as a slave girl without being betrayed. Her solace in this world is sitting under a lone willow tree at dusk.
So, of course, her world upends when she discovers a man with no Mark. Beneath her willow, he offers her something that should be impossible for anyone to give: freedom from Disace's grip.
But as the risk of even talking with him grows, she'll have to decide if trusting a man who shouldn't exist is even possible.

Beneath the Willow Tree is a Christian fantasy short story. Featuring a world where the Mark controls with pain, a slave girl who's trust has been broken too many times, and a man who's skin is Mark-less, it's a powerful short story with themes of redemption, trust, and love.
