NEMESIS

Short story - reviews on Goodreads

Taelan Muntalabac is the Hate-Monger, a creature born to feast on the hatred and malice of men, and the Andaur Empire is the stage for his grand machinations.

Opposite him stands Maevos Avenar, a man destined to be his nemesis from birth, but who has no knowledge of him or the war their families have fought for centuries.
