About the Book:
Fated to be a Priestess of Saegard, Meredith dreams of leading a normal life with a family and a home of her own, something she’ll never have if she swears her life to the Order. A chance encounter with a stranger in the sacred Celestial Chamber sends her previously well-ordered life into a tailspin of adventure and mayhem as she is blamed for the theft of a legendary artifact.
Now a fugitive, Meredith must join forces with Captain Reginald Lawrence, the son of the man who initially brought her to the Temple, and his enigmatic business partner, the charming yet at times infuriating, Grey Rhodes, to find the Celestial Bowl and clear her name. From the cosmopolitan capital of Saegard to the coast of Ismera and back again, Meredith’s journey will reveal the true nature of her past, present, and ultimately, her future.
Read an Excerpt:
“Sam!” Reginald exclaimed, making a point
to sound jovial when addressing the sour-face postmaster. “How’re the kids?
How’s Frank?”
“Har, har,” Sam replied in a flat
monotone, barely looking up enough to glance over the edge of his half-moon
glasses. “Like you care. I don’t even know why you bother to stop in here,
you’re just going to throw out the letter from your mother without even reading
it.”
“You’re reading my mail now?” Reginald
raised a quizzical brow in Sam’s direction.
The postmaster shrugged lazily instead of
answering, reaching below his desk to pull out a familiar-looking manilla
envelope to hold it out to Reginald. He did all of this without taking his eyes
from the newspaper article he was reading. Leaning forward, Reginald took note
of the headline: Kevlan Warship Spotted Off the Eastern Coast
- Coincidence or Portent?
Reginald shook his head. Kevlans,
our modern day boogeyman. Sure, relations with Kevla aren’t great, but one ship
in our waters is hardly a declaration of war.
Regarding the man suspiciously now,
Reginald took the proffered letter and ignored the wastebasket this time in
favour of stuffing it into the breast pocket of his sailor’s jacket. Sam didn’t
seem to notice the change in Reginald’s routine, or if he did, he simply did
not care.
“So if anyone comes this way looking for
passage, you’ll direct them along then, right, Sam?” Reginald fought to get
Sam’s attention one last time even as he backed away, intent on the door.
“Especially a–”
“A Priestess,” Sam finished for him
without looking up, “yes, yes, I know.”
“Right, because Priestesses are leaving
here all the time, heading out to perform weddings, act as diplomats, healers–”
“Reginald,” Sam stopped him, “I live here.
I know more about Priestesses than you do. I’ll send them to you if anyone is
coming to book passage.”
“Thanks, buddy. I knew I could count on
you.” Reginald forced a smile in the off chance that Sam should look his way.
“You mean you knew you could count on your
coin buying my discretion,” Sam commented drily, directing his words to the
paper in his hands more so than to Reginald as he turned the page.
“That too,” Reginald mumbled half to himself
as he let himself out of the trading post and into the early morning sunlight.
“Rat bastard.”
