Perilous Bliss

"Rahima Warren brings her daring, passionate, and compassionate trilogy, to a most satisfying close in Perilous Bliss. Brave and reflective readers may find more in these books than excellent fantasy set in a masterfully-built and richly detailed world. …let yourself experience the fiercely potent, healing magic of The Star-Seer's Prophecy."

—Jodie Forrest, author of The Rhymer and the Ravens and The Ascendant

“Through three hells, through blissful heaven and its loss,
he surrenders all yet never yields. He must be betrayed.
May we be forgiven! ”
The Star Seer’s Prophecy

As his horse picks its way down the stony path into Ravenvale, Kyr marvels at the beauty of this hidden valley that spreads out below him, emanating serenity, protection, and peace. Maybe here, I will be safe for a while, he thinks hopefully. But then the curse-scars Gauday inflicted on him pulse vilely, and he groans to himself, Gods, I hope the cleansing ritual the Warrior-Mage promised me works—and soon!

Shockingly, this very ritual triggers the third hell of the Prophecy. Kyr confronts horrific revelations about his origins and heart-wrenching betrayals by his trusted friends. Alienated from everyone, even Zhovanya, the Goddess who saved his soul, he flees to a mysterious island tower for the solitude that is all he can bear.

But the time has come, at last: the stars are moving into the pattern foreseen long ago by the Star-Seer. The healing of the web of life, the fate of the Goddess Herself, and the renewal of the Sacred Balance all depend on Kyr’s ultimate choice.

Will he succumb to rage and despair— or keep to the hard path of forgiveness and compassion?

And will the Goddess keep Her Promise to him?
