The Rite of Radnickby Tara O’TooleThe theocratic state of Argacia offers Braya a choice: sacrifice or banishment. But even a repressive regime cannot quell her desire for something more — neither Braya’s nor the two men on whom her destiny depends. *** In the theocratic state of Argacia, where ears listen behind closed doors and the watchful eye of the Sect sees all, Braya Farroe is one of Gaia’s Chosen. Braya can harness the immense energy trapped within sylla crystals. But oftentimes, her power feels less like a blessing and more like a curse. CHOSEN TO KEEP THE DARKNESS AT BAY The Sect Elders have spent years preparing Braya to enter an endless sleep wherein her body will be used as a vessel to extract the syllan flames that fuel Argacia’s forges. But Braya is secretly sceptical about the rhetoric the Sect spews. She wants more than a life of service and solitude. She wants to be free. $0.99 |
