Maiden of Dawn - Paperback

by Amelia Black (Author)

Magic is a gift from the divine...

In the sleepy village of Ferne, Maeve, a priestess of Juno, has long since laid her dreams of romance and adventure to rest and has committed herself as her town's divine healer. She is content to mend broken bones, care for her garden, and hope for her mother's return. But when King Hagken's army ambushes her village and demands their service to reclaim his throne, Maeve realizes her responsibilities go beyond the healing arts.

Maeve, determined to liberate her people, and emboldened by Juno's divine power, will stop at nothing to prevent this war before it begins. She forms an unlikely alliance with an expelled alchemist and Hagken's prior spymaster, Alistair, who shares they have a personal vendetta against the king.

In the city of Pyrite, where magic and alchemy thrive, Maeve must navigate the unfamiliar waters of political intrigue, combat forbidden spirit magic, contend with her faith, and discover what it means to reshape her dreams, her destiny-and the destinies of others.

But the Gods can be...fickle.
