Fierce Blessings (Book Two of "The Star-Seer's Prophecy") - Paperback

by Rahima Warren (Author)

In Fierce Blessings (Book Two of the trilogy The Star-Seer's Prophecy), author Rahima Warren deepens and heightens the purification trials of unwitting hero, Kyr, first chronicled in Book One, Dark Innocent. Now no longer the dark innocent, Kyr has survived the first hell of the Star-Seer's prophecy. After his deeply sacred and transformative year at the Goddess's Sanctuary, he has become a man of compassion, courage, and integrity. However, the terrible crimes he committed as the unwitting slave of the Soul-Drinker still weigh heavily on his soul. To atone, he plans to help his slave brothers open to the same profound blessings that he received from the Goddess: healing, forgiveness and love. But before he can begin, his worst enemy tears him from the safety of the Sanctuary, and away from all the goodness and beauty he has come to know. Now Kyr must face the second hell foretold by the prophecy. Left chained outdoors like a dog for months, Kyr is subjected to beatings and derision by his captors. When the rains come, he is taken inside as servant and whore by their leader, who subjects Kyr to sorcerous torture, aiming to turn Kyr into his will-less, mind-bonded slave. Far from any help, Kyr struggles to protect his soul from the seductive pull of all-too-familiar depravity, fight the temptations of hatred and despair, and continue on the hard path to forgiveness. Will Kyr be able to keep faith with the Goddess Who saved his soul in time to renew the Sacred Balance and restore Her sovereignty? Or will he return to the foul slavery he has known most of his life? The fate of the land and the Goddess Herself depends on his choice.
