The Eternal Muse: The Gatekeeper's Way - Alaria's Story
Alaria dreams of becoming a Gatekeeper, a warrior-priestess. But her fellow candidates in the brutal selection competition will stop at nothing to steal her chance at glory.
Alaria is a gifted warrior, trained as a fighter since birth. Her skill is enhanced by hearing the voices of the One, allowing her to sense the emotions of those she fights. Such is her ability she’s invited to go to Gatekeeper training, a competition of the finest fighters.
Not everyone is pleased she’s there. Only the victor will join the order, and some competitors care nothing about faith, doing anything to triumph and gain the prestige and political power for themselves and their families.
With treachery underlying every step, Alaria must use all her willpower and expertise in her battle to become the warrior-priestess she was born to be. But with her competitors resorting to ruthless tactics to snatch the prize, is she strong enough to secure victory?
