Soul of the Amaranth 2 Mark Cuevas

"Only when one gives up hope have they truly lost their humanity."One's mind is not always their own, through the eyes of the past can we see a new future. Having seen the world through new eyes, Raul begins his journey to freedom through a blood drenched road known only to the Red Branded. Struggling to choose between the shadow of a former love and a woman who had remained by his side since childhood, Raul struggles to mature as the world around him begins to take a new shape with every slash of his blades. The Anthropophagus have been in hiding, devouring the flesh of man in the shadows and capturing those they could use as prey for their own livestock. As their presence becomes more pronounced to the world, leaders begin a purge to keep the Anthro race in check, slaughtering those that would jeopardize humanity's future. But with heavy loss comes a heavy price that can only be paid in blood. Memories of one that went beyond the limits of human strength begin to reveal that history is starting to repeat itself. Will Raul become the new link that breaks the cycle of despair, or will he become the catalyst that brings only death to those that would defy fate?The Soul System is watching.
