A Crown of Luminaries

"He robbed me of my childhood, my companions, my peace. He trained me, marred me, molded me into a cursed, calloused weapon. And now, he seeks to see the world bathed in the waters of an authoritarian, sadistic god- a god who promises blessings of great power to all who administer his dark gospel."Amira, twenty-five year old orphan-turned jaded mercenary, wants nothing to do with the gods or The Knights of Blackthorn who employ the blood-lusting captain who holds her captive. However, she abruptly finds herself in the middle of a war for balance and power when one of her assignments drastically alters the course of her fate. After two and a half decades focused merely on her own survival, Amira must relinquish her apathy. In order to combat the darkness threatening to devour Elmoria's peace and freedom, she must also learn to confront the inner demons plaguing her nightmares.
