Tehran possesses extraordinary strength in exchange for oaths of loyalty to the ruling religious order, the Order of the Sky. When an infestation of creatures who can move within the earth kill his best friend and wreak havoc in the region he has been given to protect, Tehran must restore peace.
His plans to petition the Order for help are complicated when his friend’s widow, Emilia, joins him. Blaming the circumstances around her husband’s death on corruption in the Order, she is determined to hold them responsible. To shield Emilia from the Elders’ inevitable wrath, Tehran exchanges vows with her, putting his oaths at risk. They find more than they bargain for in their bond as a surprising and deeper tie begins to grow – love.
Together, they chase down a plot within the Order where secrets are being traded for technology. When Tehran uncovers the unexpected and realizes he has committed the ultimate betrayal, he struggles to discern the truth of their situation. To navigate a path forward he must choose between the supernatural strength he has always relied on or the love he holds for his friends before his conflicting oaths permanently sever his ties to reality.
About the Author
katee stein
As legend has it, Katee Stein was born with a book in her hand. Although never officially confirmed, reports suggest her earliest years were spent haunting the local library. It is unclear what profound thoughts led Katee to writing her first book, The Nameless Stegosaurus, but her love of storytelling took root from that moment on.
Once grown, Katee traveled, met the love of her life, had two amazing children, and started working in special education. And through it all words never stopped swirling, begging to be released. Finally, when the ache in her chest became too much, she started to write the stories that had lived so long in her head.
So it was, Katee has learned the value of the long way around. The uncharted course that spun a lifetime of experience into the foundation to create worlds and explore possibilities.
Of course if you were to meet her, she’s of an ordinary sort who loves coffee and slow mornings; chickens and sunrises; and most of all, her people.
