Marriage First, Love Second

[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. Etanai Bazu, a nobody from the slums of Stell City, received a gift from the most powerful celestial, The God of Scriptures, through a life-altering experience that left him with an unstable mind. Along with four A-list military trainees: Chad Bravo, Cassandra Rayer, Bava Edward, and Garu Chanti, Etanai became a Holy Warrior to the priestess of 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.)
