Glow of the Periwinkle (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781662970993)

In the rugged majesty of the Gilian Highlands, the moon governs more than tides and seasons-it governs lives. Dartha, a young priestess devoted to the Temple of Lunar Healing, has spent years mastering her craft beneath the silvery gaze of the Goddess. Her body bears the sacred sigils of devotion; her spirit bears the weight of every life she has failed to heal.

When her mother is stricken with Peria's Disease, a sickness untouched by prayer or potion, Dartha defies the temple's teachings and sets out on a forbidden pilgrimage to the Moon Goddess's Garden. The journey will test every oath she has ever sworn. Accompanied by Kovu-a mentor whose faith is as fractured as her own-Dartha faces the living heart of magic itself: a place where nature breathes, light pulses, and the price of compassion can unravel the world.

In that luminous place, Dartha must choose between love and duty, faith and consequence. Her decision will save one life but doom many, marking her forever as both healer and exile.

Glow of the Periwinkle is a dark, introspective fantasy about sacrifice, the quiet defiance of love, and the power found in choosing the heart's truth over the comfort of absolution.
