((EDITING IN PROGRESS)) ──────────── In a world where the gods rule, even Ascyria, a nation known for its brutal female warriors- the Amazons, are subject to obey. Devoted to their Goddess, Ascyria tolerates no sedition towards the divine. Those who disobey and their children become Tainted, outcasts to society, abhorred by the Gods. Gradia is one of the Tainted and having inherited her mother's crimes, lives with the disadvantages and hate reserved for her kind. Still, she is one of the luckier ones. After being taken in as a ward to the Grand General of Aphons, she grows desperate to prove she is separate from her mother's heresy and earn her place in Ascyria. But when the Goddess herself gives her a vision of a formidable future, it obstructs everything Gradia has ever known. Horrified and reluctant, Gradia thinks it must be a trick from the gods and seeks out her only true companion for help, despite their dangerous romance that could condemn them both. For Phyllipa, a zealous and pious young warrior, the pressure has been racking up as an Era of Peace threatens to end and old enemies emerge for war. It is her duty to the Goddess to fight as an Amazon, but her loyalties are torn between the enlistment lists and Gradia, despite knowing Gradia can tarnish her by association. But when Gradia turns to her, proclaiming the Goddess gave her a vision, naming Gradia a prophet, how can Phyllipa say no? As a misinterpretation of the message leads to disaster, the girls must part ways: Phyllipa, to glory, and Gradia, to repentance. Yet, they discover their distance is not the end of their ties. As a mixture of longing and resentment festers, they learn the Ascyrian Walls cannot withstand enemies forever, even the Amazons are fallible, and the Gods will not be ignored.

Cricket Peterson was born and raised in Blanco, Texas and never desired leaving. It wasn't necessary. Not after her parents retired to Italy and she was left to tend for their lavender farm. She loves the lavender hills and spent most of her childhood in them with a local who quickly became her inseparable best friend. The only downside to their friendship is his sister. Despite her childhood antics, however, it turns out Lyle's sister may be at her wits end. After leaving university in NYC, she returns home at a cost. Her parents want her to be married, or at least dating. Through a series of odd events, Lyle asks Cricket to pretend to be in a relationship with his sister and in spite of her best efforts, she finds herself more drawn to the intrusive woman than ever before. Aster Johnson loves music. In fact, she went to university to get a degree in it. However, college wasn't the environment she wished, not with her creepy professor's hands on approach to teaching, and she just wants to go home, but her parents are quite controlling. They want her to marry so that she can focus on her studies with a security blanket of her own. In a heated argument with them, she confesses she's in a committed relationship and is focusing on writing her violin piece. As much as her parents approve of her musical endeavors, they want her to have someone besides them to rely on throughout life. She knows they have good intentions, but she doesn't want a relationship. Still, to save face her brother's best friend agrees to pretend to be her serious girlfriend. Problem is, they can't stand one another. After moving onto Cricket's property, Aster finds herself oddly curious about the woman. As it turns out, Cricket may feel the same, but can they put their differences aside, or will they forever be locked in a down spiral until Aster finally leaves? ⚠️Trigger Warning: This novel contains short, intense action, grief and stalking. ❤ Mature Content ⚢ Lesbian Romance/Lit 📚
