The Houses make a pawn of her in their bitter struggle for control of the Dominion. A shadowy cult grows ever closer to completing an ancient ritual.And Rahelu discovers that fulfilling her oath to her family might come at the cost of her mother’s life.A 2023 SELF-PUBLISHED FANTASY BLOG-OFF SEMI-FINALIST AND INDIE INK AWARD WINNER!
