About this ebook
Abandoned at the doors of an abbey, Lieta began life with knowledge of how to use any talent she was in contact with. As she grew, so did her collection of accessible power.
When the Citadel came to the abbey to ask for her assistance, she was astonished to learn she was not only not the only one of her kind, but she was one of the only sane ones. Her species enjoys being worshipped and that is rarely a good result for their people.
Lieta has to stop them, nullify them and make sure that they won’t hurt others. Running into one of her previous arrests and finding out that she is expected to let him be her shadow is a shock.
Muraz once fancied himself a god, but after being shown that he was not alone, he has decided that working with the only being more powerful than himself might be educational.

Abandoned at the doors of an abbey, Lieta began life with knowledge of how to use any talent she was in contact with. As she grew, so did her collection of accessible power.
When the Citadel came to the abbey to ask for her assistance, she was astonished to learn she was not only not the only one of her kind, but she was one of the only sane ones. Her species enjoys being worshipped and that is rarely a good result for their people.
Lieta has to stop them, nullify them and make sure that they won’t hurt others. Running into one of her previous arrests and finding out that she is expected to let him be her shadow is a shock.
Muraz once fancied himself a god, but after being shown that he was not alone, he has decided that working with the only being more powerful than himself might be educational.

Chapter One
The storm was wild. She clutched the baby to her chest and ran through the rain.
She had been given five minutes to get her child to safety and her lack of control had caused her to overshoot the landing site. Now, she had to run.
The woman set the child against the gate in the shelter of an overhang, and she rang the bells with all her might. Her keeper was coming for her to resume her training. This was the only moment in the entire span of time that she wanted.
Her daughter needed to be safe.
A figure appeared next to her and she was hauled away before she knew that her daughter was safe. She screamed as she was taken away and then fell silent. Her daughter had heard that scream twice today. The first time had been when she died.
* * * *
The monk opened the door as the blood-curdling scream faded in the air. The smaller, more insistent shout came from the bundle at his feet. He leaned down and lifted her in his arms. Hello, little one. Did you make all that noise?
The baby looked at him with eyes in a purple so dark they looked to be deep brown. She blinked and slurped her fist.
The monk lifted his hand and light covered it, illuminating their new arrival. The baby waved her fist in the air and it glowed in reaction.
Oh dear, little one. You have a lot of power in that tiny body.
She waved both fists and both glowed. She giggled and then burped. He brought her inside to the warmth and shelter of the temple. Sister Esrai would know what to do with her.
* * * *
Twenty-three years later, Lieta was hauling in the harvest with the monks and acolytes when a blast struck the ground near her feet.
You. Manager.
She turned to face the young man with the dark soul and blacker temper. Redol, right?
She talked about me, did she? The stupid bitch.
Well, she had guessed right. Ah, so you are Venila’s ex-boyfriend. You are everything she said.
Lieta moved away from the wagon and toward the intruder, into the monastery’s property. What did you want?
I want Venila back. Give her to me.
She is not a slave, nor is she owned by the monastery. She can come and go as she pleases, but she is choosing to live there and take vows to serve others.
Lieta kept easing to one side until there was nothing to strike behind her.
She is mine. She will come back to me.
"Oh, I do not think so. She will remain where she is safe.
