Book Description
Revenge Tale: Kill Mara By: Marcel Revenge Tale: Kill Mara is a tale about something that's old as time, sweet, sweet, fucking revenge, also about honor, morality, redemption, and forgiveness, which is damn near impossible to give. The message of Kill Mara is what would you do for the truth, what lengths would you go to, what lines would you cross, because for Minamoto Minato, the lines between good and evil cease to exist. Morals are forgotten in the pursuit of vengeance. No matter how much pain, how much hurt we cause each other, it’s interesting to see how trauma changes a person, either making them stronger or weaker. Ultimately the choice is yours. Would you rather be a victim or become the victimizer?
