Metanoia (The Fifth Yanai #1)
Juniper Lake Fitzgerald
In a world ravaged by famine and drought, kindhearted cultist Ohkai lives on the outskirts of society in service of the Yanai when he is sent from his home in the Sect on a Calling of divine origin. As he travels into the heart of a society that opposes the existence of his kind - a people who worship the same Gods, but in a manner corrupted by the Temple - he realizes what he expected to be a simple errand and test of his devotion, will bring him face to face with one of his greatest rivals - a Temple appointed assassin - a Urai. When the life of an old friend is in danger from the Urai, Ohkai must risk not only discovery, but his life, to save his friend and fulfill his Calling. What will he do when one contradicts the other? How can he choose between them when the Gods demand obedience above all else?
Velyr is a Urai, cold-hearted and ruthless. A Temple assassin, raised in the confines of the Temple walls, he is a well oiled killing machine, trained for one thing - to fulfill the will of the Gods. Sent on a simple mission, to eliminate after a target in the township of Obeaon, he encounters an unexpected obstacle - a Cultist who claims to serve the Yanai. An impossibility and blasphemy on the lips of his enemy. When his mission fails and he nearly loses his life, only to be saved by the embodiment of everything he hates most - the Cultist. Velyr is made to question everything he’s been taught to believe - and experience thoughts and feelings that will change his life forever.
A strange and unlikely connection builds between Ohkai and Velyr, Cultist and Urai. And little do they know their meeting was fated, and meant to be something more than even they - or their Gods - could have ever foreseen.
