Broken is book one in the Champions series, by Jason Halstead
Jennaca is broken. Her heart, her spirit, and her hopes for the future lay in shambles. She was an unwitting pawn in a game played by a cruel demon. Even destroying that demon didn't undo the damage to her soul. Her sanity lies in building a new life. One far away from her father and the family she had once been so proud of. In the southern forests of Altonia, untamed and isolated, she plans to start over and find out if there's anything worth building on.
With the help of a childhood friend her cabin in the woods begins to take shape. With the cabin so does a possible life, a simple life filled with warmth and love in a place she never even thought to look for it. Life, perhaps, is worth living after all.
Yet Jennaca's past is not as ready to be done with her as she is. The darkness she played with wants one more dance with her. This time it's her friend, the Princess-in-Exile of Altonia, that is the prize. Jennaca's past and present collide and prove that she can't have one without the other. Instead, she has to choose her future – hermit, or huntress.
