Of Faith & Flesh
Elowen was never meant to belong to herself.
Raised under the iron rule of the Vastran faith, she was taken from her family as a child and shaped into a prophet. The Oracle at Fairfield, bound to serve, to see, but never to choose. Yet when a vision reveals the faith's own destruction, she does the unthinkable. She runs.
Now a fugitive, Elowen is caught between forces that want to control her. A government eager to dismantle the faith, a world that views her as a heretic, a corporation that wants to monetize her and an inquisition whose motives are anything but clear. The only person she can trust is Sera, her Omenwright, her keeper, the one person who should have turned her in. But devotion is a dangerous thing, and as the line between duty and something far more treacherous begins to blur, neither of them can ignore the truth: some things were never meant to be foretold.
A runaway prophet, a faith on the brink, and a love neither of them can afford.
Of Faith and Flesh is a slow-burn romantic thriller about prophecy, power, and the choices that make us human.
