Autumn, Carrie's charge, is an incarnation of a being known as a \"balanced one.” She faces harassment from her high school peers, led by her own cousin. She does not know what she is, thus forcing Carrie to conceal her duty. This tale takes the myths of our reality and brings them to life through Autumn's family, who embody some of these myths.\u003cbr\u003eUnvarnished was created from a vibrant blend of influences, drawing inspiration from literature, comics, anime and manga, video games, and ancient myths. If you're familiar with the Isekai genre in anime and manga-where characters are transported to a fantasy world-Unvarnished can be seen as a reverse Isekai since the main character comes from a fantasy world to ours. The world is similar to ours in this narrative, but its myths are true, akin to the worlds presented in the PERCY JACKSON and MORTAL INSTRUMENTS series. However, unlike those books, Unvarnished is aimed at an older audience.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"KMChaosBookReads Indie Book Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46526278729917,"sku":null,"price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0752\/7461\/7021\/files\/IMG_5812.jpg?v=1774108023","url":"https:\/\/kmchaosbookreads.com\/products\/unvarnished-signed","provider":"KMChaosBookReads Indie Book Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
