Europe is on the verge of World War II. Frightened citizens are fleeing the continent in droves. One ocean liner, the Ruth, is desperately trying to get to safety in America.
No one aboard knows about the predator who has stowed away.
Her name is Narama. Thousands of years ago, she was human.
Now she is…something very different. All she wants is solitude, and she’d hoped to find it in America.
Then a German battlecruiser gets the Ruth in its sights and commands the ship to return to Europe. For the desperate passengers, all hope is lost.
Narama hasn’t been in danger for a long time. It isn’t despair she feels but the cold savagery of a beast who refuses to become prey.
A ship full of innocents. Hundreds of German soldiers.
A sculptor by trade, a writer by passion, ARAHOM RADJAH began his venture into the literary world by creating stories for a series of comic books published by ARH ComiX back in 2015—the three graphic novels Queen of Vampires, Arhian Head Huntress, and Astria.
Later, he developed the storyline for The Undying Queen, a series of eleven novels, six of which have already been published.
A storyteller by heart, Arahom likes to create his stories during his morning walks with his little dachshund, Princess. A habit that transports him every day into the boundless worlds of his imagination.
Anything even touching the topic of the Jewish Holocaust is bound to betray and offend those who live with those wounds in their family trees. This story handled the topic well, pairing misery with fantasy, without making light of a very horrific experience. But, it would've been a better read if I would've read the backstory first. The Holocaust is too serious and painful a topic to not have a fair warning in advance.
The story captured my attention from beginning. I never suspected who the shadow person was until deep into the story. I wish the main characters had gotten together. I think it would have made a great continuing story if he willingly became a creature of the night.
