Metamorphosis by Decree

In a world ruled by corrupt priests and an oppressive Code that governs every aspect of life, young priestess Katelarin receives a divine vision that changes everything. When the goddess Mirsha grants her forbidden powers and commands her to undertake a perilous quest, Kate finds herself accompanied by unlikely allies-including the fierce Southern warrior T'az and the noble knight Bear. Their mission will take them into the heart of darkness itself, where ancient evils dwell and terrible prices must be paid for knowledge. But Kate's growing defiance of the established order has marked her as a dangerous heretic, and powerful enemies will stop at nothing to silence her voice forever.

As revolution ignites across the land, T'az must navigate impossible choices while wielding a mysterious magical sword that hungers for battle. Torn between conflicting loyalties and haunted by her own demons, she discovers that some bonds transcend death itself. With unlikely alliances forming between humans, mythical creatures, and forces beyond the grave, our heroes must uncover long-buried truths about their world's forgotten history. But ancient powers are stirring, and sinister forces manipulate events from the shadows. In a realm where everything that once existed still endures, the fate of all may depend on understanding the deepest mysteries of the past-before the gathering darkness consumes everything they hold dear.
