In 589 AD in the kingdom of Kent, seventeen-year-old Ardelle stands accused of wielding lightning to murder a wealthy thane. The king’s daughter, Myrah, compels her to swear an oath of obedience before taking her to her father’s seaside sanctuary. There, Ardelle learns to live with others who possess her gifts – or curses, as some might call them. After winning her freedom, Ardelle finds that she has also won Myrah’s heart, but at great cost: the dark boatman in the realm of the dead demands a reckoning for the men Ardelle has slain lest he take everyone Ardelle loves from her. Will Ardelle submit to him and leave Myrah behind? $0.99 on Kindle.
