The rusty chains groaned as he swayed back and forth, watching her.
'Maybe it's not him,' thought Billi,
'Maybe he's just some normal kid. Maybe I don't have to murder him.'
Billi SanGreal is facing her Ordeal. The last test before her initiation. But she hadn't expected this. Not killing a little kid.
Billi is destined to follow her father into The Order and protect the masses from the Unholy. From the thousands of evil, tortured souls that prey on humanit.
Billi is fifteen. Is a life of brutal fighting and deadly combat really what she wants? Or is temptation threatening to lead her astray...
Chadda has done a fantastic job of capturing the essense of the emotions that belong to the main characters. Billi's mother is dead, and her father is unresponsive to her affections, and in fact does much to discourage them. Nothing she does is ever good enough, and when her childhood friend re-enters her life, her emotions begin to confuse her.
This book is brilliant, but not for the faint-hearted readers out there.
