She can rewrite the Balance, but every gain requires a sacrifice. She must decide what—and who—matters most.
Ketira is done waiting for her best friend's brother, Makev, to see her as a woman. Crafting Balanced spell-prayers for inventors won't pay for her siblings' educations. She needs to marry a rich man and save her family. She snares the interest of a wealthy lord, but he's not the only one looking her way. Not all attention is positive.
Makev Poinar falls in love with a new woman every month. He competes for the favor of noted court beauties, but they never hold his attention for long. He needs a woman with something more than a pretty face. A woman as intriguing as his friend, Ketira.
Ketira can't trust herself around Makev now that he is set on winning her heart. There is no guarantee his promises will last longer than a flower's bloom. But avoiding a broken heart is the least of her worries once the religious zealots come calling.
***This is a full length, stand-alone novel set in The Great Balance World. It is steamy with a HEA and no cliffhangers.
