Finding Balance

By Steph Manser

Sometimes to find balance, you have to trust.

Hitori was banished from her homeland. Alone and burdened by secrets, she is adept at magic and terrible at fitting in. That changes when she meets Kamatari. Born without choices, he is a skilled assassin and a better thief. Yet the circumstances that brought them together could also rip them apart if all is revealed.

As an oracle, Claren knows that every choice has a consequence. He can tell the truth, or he can protect the future. He can risk his sanity, or he can ignore his visions. Yet sometimes, only a teacher can provide his student with the tools to forge her own path.

But can they truly keep each other safe?

A standalone adventure for fans of found family, platonic queer relationships, non-platonic queer relationships, magical schools, redemption, and second chances. A companion book to Residual Hate.
