Divine Blessings - Paperback

by K. R. Thompson (Author)

Forbidden love. Divine powers. A vengeance that could tear the world apart.

Nsiria had always felt different-wishing she could learn to read instead of becoming her father's perfect little noblewoman. After a forbidden kiss, Nsiria finds herself alone-exiled by her father to a foreign city.

Elara knows what it's like to be alone. While mourning her mother's death, she stumbles upon Nsiria. They find a home together in "the grove," a refuge for the city's outcasts. Soon, Nsiria's renewed attempts at teaching herself to read catch the eye of the deity of wisdom, and she is granted powers that can finally make her dream of learning a reality. But her growing feelings for Elara could distract her from the path of knowledge.

When tragedy strikes and Nsiria believes Elara is dead, rage and grief consume her. She vows to exact revenge on the man responsible for her loss. But the path toward his destruction may be the path toward her own, for more than one of the seven deities have set their sights on her.
