Cover Reveal: Noxious by Ayrton Silva
Blurb:
After the incidents in her village, Lina has a new goal: to journey to the city of Vrysta and become a Slayer.
On the surface, it looks like it will be simple. A short trip, followed by a test, with her dream practically in arm's reach. She couldn't be more wrong. A series of mistakes upon arrival sees Lina not only failing the test, but being forbidden to take it again. Stranded in an unfamiliar city, now she must find a way to get by. More importantly, she has to find a way to keep her dream alive.
She knows it won't be easy. Vrysta is a sprawling city, and the obstacles she has to navigate are just as daunting as the city's size. Slayers are stranger and messier than they seemed. The only familiar thing is the curse, the ever-present threat that Lina's world can fall apart at a moment's notice.
Ironically, that curse is the very thing that Lina wants to fight.
