Five ordeals to prove their worth.
Power that may end them all.
Revenge must be served, but the Organ Mandor, sovereign Ruler of the four-petal island of Thyria, holds more power than any other panom. Hope is determined to avenge the death of countless innocents at his wicked hands. A blood hunt has been promised, and she will not stop until his blood stains her hands.
To stand a chance against the most powerful panom, a group of five strivers will embark on the Fifth Crusade to obtain the mythical Fifth Power-unclaimed for centuries. The Cardinal goddesses will push the lives of these five aspirants to their limits, demanding mastery of the panom powers: Taking, Giving, Healing and Harming.
Once an ordeal begins, only two outcomes exist: succeed, or die.
When Hope joined the Fifth Crusade, she accepted that her life would be at risk. What she wasn't prepared for was the risk to her beliefs and her true feelings.
