Follow the pathways of this fantasy dystopia tale to meet Veronica Stoltz, a young and beautiful woman who can't help but live a miserable existence, taking life's beauty for granted. That is, until the day she is taken away from her home by the goblins and forced to live in the gray, dark and dreary other world known as Hatred Blooms. Within this land, atrocious flowers, predatorial bushes and stubborn trees have the ability to attack just as well as the goblin creatures she is forced to live with. Veronica's only choice is to accept and even try to learn from and better this land, while she finally begins to learn to appreciate life as it is. There are surprises on every corner in Hatred Blooms and you would be wise not to expect the expected. Anything and everything that is ordinary and/or extraordinary awaits you within. The magic of the gray land of Hatred Blooms has only now begun. Written, Edited and Cover By Christine Soltis Copyright (c) 2008 First Edition
