A furious child, Velimir barely escaped mysterious murderous priestesses with his life and lived in the unforgiving streets of Oligorsk until being adopted by a powerful man. He is torn between two parts of his conflicted soul. Half of him is wicked and blood-thirsty. He flies off the handle. He murders… and he likes it.
But the other half of him is tender and kind. He loves his mother and would do anything to protect her, even if that means calling forth the evil that lurks within him. Grown into a still furious man, the moment comes for him to fight an evil even more despicable than his own and he must toe the line between his two identities.
Will saving his mother redeem his dark soul… or will the battle turn him into an even more ruthless monster than before?
Drawing on inspiration from bestselling RPGs like Elder Scrolls, Dragon Age, and Neverwinter Nights, Charlie Freelander’s book The Makings of a Monster combines an action-packed plot with the complex characters that makes the Legacy of Wrath series so addictive.
