..."Hold your head up high. Your sacrifice to the Gods on this day will allow your family to thrive. They will gain the favor of the Gods. You have lived a good life and I have been proud to be your Guardian..."Flora knows when and why she will die. She has lived her life under constant protection, waiting for this day to come. Many first borns have gone before her, continuing this tradition to the Gods. But Flora is a witch, a very powerful witch. When one Guardian fails, another will succeed. Julian is to be Flora's final Guardian. There is a connection between them that could shake the very tradition that requires Flora's death.This novella literally blew me away. An outstanding plot that had me captivated until the very end. The characters are vibrant and powerful. At the end of the story, I found myself wishing there were more but was still completely satisfied. I'm looking forward to reading the next installment, Rebellion: The Outer Territory. This is definitely an author and series to keep your eye on. Stacey Wallace Benefiel is a fabulous storyteller that thinks outside of the box.Check out my review of Glimpse by Stacey Wallace Benefiel here.A red-hot read. Put this at top of your 'must buy' list.
