Description
In a kingdom where dance is forbidden, a future high priestess must bend the rules to stop an ancient evil from destroying everything and everyone she loves, including the crown prince, in this sweeping romantasy graphic novel. Eighteen-year-old Myra has spent her entire life training to succeed her grandmother as high priestess. But with her ascension rapidly approaching, she's worried about the path ahead. How can she become the herald of the god Alrun when he forbids the thing she loves most: dancing? Her people can't afford her self-doubt, though. A peace treaty is dependent on Myra receiving Alrun's wisdom, and the forces of darkness are seeping through the barrier between worlds. The only source of light Myra has is her childhood best friend, the crown prince. Without his support and . . . love, she may not be able to stop what's coming. Myra must dig deep into her kingdom's forgotten history for answers, even if it means defying the law. But the key to saving her people may require her to make the biggest sacrifice of all.
