Moonsword

Moonsword #1

by Diana Hignutt

"The Demon shall be mighty, but not He shall be killed by no man and by no born female. No metal of the earth shall harm him..." Prince Tolian of Lorm is the kingdom's greatest warrior and proud heir to the throne. His world is turned upside-down when he learns of the Druidic Prophecy which foretells the coming of a powerful Demon and the end of the world. There is only one Tolian must allow himself to be transformed into a woman in order to become the Champion – the only being capable of defeating the Demon. Tolian reluctantly agrees as the Demon enters the world and begins his nightmarish conquest. Now Tolian must come to terms with her new femininity, gain control of her magical powers, find the fabled Moonsword, battle a host of monsters, and confront the Demon before it's too late. Not your average faerie-tale to be sure.

Reviews

[Chilla]

I like the writing style, the world building, the premise, and the protagonist.

The way the protagonist gets treated was so horrid and senseless that I rooted for the world to end and him successfully committing suicide.

The druid women admit they need him because only he can save the world. And yet they rape his mind and flesh by puppetting his body and forcing him into sex while he silently screams inside.

The romance aspect still had me invested. What made me give up was that the druids kept mocking him - even while raping his mind! Even after he agreed and transformed into their savior, they still made derisive remarks.

The world shown here doesn't seem worth saving.
