[BOOK 1 OF HOLY STAR] Set in a world where the most powerful continent is ruled by the most powerful nation, and the most prominent symbol of grand power there is the Temple of Wisdom.

While dealing with a deranged mind and an uncontrollable power, Etanai is dragged into a journey entailing friendship, alliances, and enemies; dealing with trauma and healing them; trust and betrayal in relationships; the pros and cons of fame; dirty politics in the sacred temple…… then there’s love. The newborn warrior couldn’t fight against the pull of Forbidden Love, not if Priestess Eshya was involved. (Note: bXb and gXg characters.)
