Don't miss out on the debut fantasy series by Samantha Jo, featuring unforgettable characters, original lore, and beautiful prose, all set in the hauntingly gorgeous setting of a speculative Appalachia.
A struggle to launch humanity to its greatest heights or tumbling into its darkest days.
As a Vessel of the Third Order, Calen serves The New Colonies as a ritual worker, blessing the soil to bring forth bountiful harvests. Yet there is more to her abilities, if only she can escape the cruel hands of her bonded partner, Brother Stokely.
When she learns of Stokely's plans to take her power for himself, Calen abandons her duty and begins a desperate journey to safety. Soon joined by a warrior scholar who vows to protect her, she must set aside her suspicions and form a tenuous alliance. She knows Stokely hunts her, and the skills of such a warrior may be needed in the days to come.
Only Calen discovers that Stokely has found another to take her place. A young woman with gifts like her that he will exploit for unimaginable power. She can choose her own freedom, fleeing with this stranger while averting her eyes from her partner's horrific plot. Or she can confront the demon who has haunted her for far too long by finally harnessing her true abilities. Yet if she fails, Stokely will become unstoppable, and Calen will be but another one of his victims.
