Measure of a Man

A pure soul plumbs the depths of a damaged heart.

Petty criminal and drifter Ian Black believes in one thing—self-preservation, until the night his path collides with a woman running for her life. The solitary man finds himself entangled in a web of intrigue as he becomes an unwilling accomplice to the enchanting woman besieging his wall of cynicism.

Mirabai Kashi is no mere mortal but a Keeper of the Terran Realm, a species secretly co-existing with humans. Her particular element, Spirit, grants her powers which might heal a broken man but threaten Destroyers bent on eliminating the Realm. As the struggle between good and evil heightens, Mirabai must count on an unlikely ally to help her deliver a mysterious box to KOTE headquarters. Will the ne'er—do-well Black have her back when it counts?

On their journey to protect the world, the pair become lovers and Ian discovers within himself a conscience and capacity for love he never imagined.
