About this ebook
It was self defence. I never meant to hurt anyone. I wasn't that kind of person but when she...it...attacked me, I acted instinctively. Now here I am, guilty of taking a life, hunted for what I am becoming and cursed to be something I never thought was possible.
I don't want to give in to it but it is getting harder and harder to avoid the curse of the sea.
