Be careful what you pray for - because even gods can
be tempted.
The Temple of Temptation is broken. The system is
failing the priests who serve faithfully, but Zeal isn't missing. He's simply
powerless - or was.
As more priests believe in our god, the balance of
power has been shifting. Temptation is thriving. Miracles are happening. The
High Priest is struggling. In his attempts to control me, he's making it almost
impossible to help the other gods.
Something has to give, and I'm worried it might be
me.
With the last semester of my initiate training
underway, things are supposed to be looking up. I finally have instructors who
are grading me fairly. I no longer feel like a failure. However, my ties to the
nobility of our barony have drawn just a little too much attention. The wrong
kind.
The High Priest wants to get rid of me. My enemies
want to destroy me out of jealousy. The nobility wants to put me in my place.
My lovers want to protect me at all costs because things are starting to get
dangerous.
None of that will stop me because gods aren't the
only ones to answer prayers.
I am the voice of Zeal. I walk with the Blade, the
Shield, the Temptation, and the Shadow. We are the devoted, five priests
determined to serve our gods in any way they demand - but the divine holds no
power over men who don't believe. Faith offers little to those who think they
are the ones who should be worshipped.
Gods want love. Men want power. Everyone knows
temptation.
To save Zeal, I'm tempted to destroy everything...
Even our traditions.
I am determined to finish this series because I need
to know how the series ends but I think 6 books is way too many books for the
storyline. This one has the same issues as the past couple of books. No
movement and repetitive throughout the book. Only one more to go.
Book 5 The Path of Temptation
