Butterfly

Seven days.

One hundred and sixty-eight hours.

Ten thousand and eighty minutes.

It seems like no time at all, it’ll be gone in the blink of an eye and then my life will change forever.
The gilded cage I live in is nothing more than an illusion. The men hide behind masks, obscuring the monsters and demons within them.

I was destined for one thing, to be sold. To be used, abused, and then thrown away. What I didn’t expect was him.

Was them.

Archer

I’ve never known love but now I’ve had a taste, nothing will stand in my way of claiming it.

He was the unexpected inevitable.

She was everything I never saw coming.

Dash

Everything in our world hangs in the balance, our work, our love, our lives.

He made living possible, I could finally breathe.

She was the flame that kept our love alight.

Until the flame went out.

REVIEW: ON SHATTERED WINGS is the first instalment in SK Graves’ contemporary, adult THE FORBIDDEN dark, erotic, duet focusing on Butterfly, Archer, Dash and Hunter.

WARNING: Due to the nature of the story line premise there WILL BE triggers for more sensitive readers including graphic violence, rape and sexual assault

Told from four first person perspectives (Butterfly, Archer, Dash and Hunter) ON SHATTERED WINGS focuses on human trafficking, abuse, assault and murder. Butterfly was born into the world of human sex trafficking, and knew nothing of kindness or a mother’s love. With the approach of her eighteenth birthday, Butterfly will be ‘prepared’ for the inevitable, an auction where she would be the ultimate prize. Often drugged and abused at the hands of her captors, Butterfly retreats into her mind where the reality is often blended with nightmares and terror.

Meanwhile, Archer Davenport, head of cyber security at Davenport Industries is about to discover just how depraved is his brother Hunter, a depravity that will have Archer coming face to face with a young woman sold to the highest bidder. His best friend Tarquin ‘Dash’ Spencer is about to lose contact with the man that he loves, contact from which he unable to locate his best friend when Archer finds himself pulled into a world he knows nothing about, a world of debauchery and debasement at the hands of the people in charge. As Archer struggles to free himself and the young woman he knows as Butterfly, he no longer recognizes the brother who is out of control.

ON SHATTERED WINGS is a story of power and control, rape and abuse, trafficking and drugs, obsession and madness. SK Graves pulls the reader in a dark, gritty, raw and haunting story; a tragic and dramatic tale of jealousy, betrayal and the ultimate power over body and mind-there is no reprieve from the violence-it is all encompassing graphic and detailed. The relationship between Dash and Archer crosses the line from friendship to love, a relationship for which both men were punished, years before. ON SHATTERED WINGS ends on a cliff hanger-you have been warned.
