Pyre of Piety

Pyre of Piety

“Verily, I implore unto thee: forsake thy Lady and take leave of this place, and go as far as thy feet shall carry thee...”

༻✧༺

     Roland wishes for nothing more than to be left alone in faithful service to his goddess, Lady Sun. Even so, the king summons him for an important task—not as an honor, but as a punishment for his past transgressions. It is simply a ruse to return him to Solzédniê, so the king may finally find cause to put him to the pyre.

     Roland is a changed man with no intent to falter—that's the idea, at least. Yet when he meets Sushun, a chronicler from across the sea, he finds himself drawn to his frank sincerity and stalwart character in a manner that soon goes far beyond brotherly admiration. As they grow closer, Roland is faced with a choice: deny his burgeoning love for this man, or risk losing everything—and discover his goddess is not as merciful as she seems.
