an Adult Fantasy by PAUL E. HAYES.

(mock cover)

For centuries, the Registry protected the people of the baronies from the beastly wretches, anomalies of nature born with horns, smudges, or cranial ridges, but when Argent’s horns emerge as an adult, he questions everything he has been taught.

After the Registry abducts his young horned cousin, Petra, he must inevitably save her, sacrifice his secret in doing so, and forever change the culture of prejudice against wretches like them.

Join Argent as he learns the truth about silver magic, the Registry of Pregnancy and Births, and himself on a journey that explores the self-loathing mind, heart, and soul of a man.
