My eyes were literally glowing, there was no mistaking it. It was not a reflection of light, or any of the other excuses I had used or others had assumed. They were glowing a light sapphire blue color. It was not a bright glow, but it was definitely a glow. Glowing eyes were not normal. Okay, at this point I had to admit it, I was no longer normal.

When Duty Is Love She was never meant to feel. Bound to the earth as a sota, her existence is one of silent vigilance-watching, guarding, and preserving the balance of the world. Her eternal duty is to protect, to serve, and control the process of the earth. Without her, there is no earth, and without earth, there is no her. Love is a human privilege, one she was forbidden to experience... until him. Silas. From the shadows of trees, beneath rippling waters, and high within the whispering skies, she has watched him-drawn to his warmth, his humanity. What begins as curiosity soon grows into something far more dangerous. Something forbidden. As their connection deepens, the fragile balance of the world begins to crack. A connection between divinity and humanity that was never meant to be. In the darkness, Afar-the sota of evil-stirs, growing stronger with every stolen moment, every unspoken feeling. Her distraction is his opportunity. And if she falters, the earth itself may fall into his grasp. Now, she stands at the edge of an impossible choice: Her duty... or her heart. To love Silas is to risk everything she was created to protect. To walk away is to lose the only thing that has ever made her feel alive. She feels she was meant for more, life as a sota despite her powers limits her to nothing but servitude, but life has a human, promises her happiness. In a world where love is a betrayal and duty is a cage, there may be only one way to have both. To rewrite the rules. To rise beyond duty. To become a goddess. But not everything that glitters is gold...and some choices don't just change the world. They destroy it.
