Burden of Power
It could be said that Terra Olson has achieved her dream of being an archeologist…
…if you were liberal with the exact details of her duty as Freya’s chosen.
Granted, she’s hunting down magical treasures. Doing it at the behest of an eccentric curator and the goddess herself to prevent Freya’s sacred belongings from falling into the wrong hands falls outside the job description she’d imagined.
Add in preventing the devious Villon’s organization from claiming the artifacts for themselves, and their efforts to silence her for what she knows, and “archaeologist” is a distant dream.
Fortunately, Terra has found a group of friends willing to help her with both learning to control her goddess-given powers and dealing with Villon’s machinations.
When a new treasure is discovered, it becomes a race to stop Villon from claiming it while unlocking its secrets.
On top of all that, the man who lost Terra’s good graces when he attempted to kill her has returned.
Her former idol is the one leading Villon’s mercenaries in their attempt to recover the artifact.
He wishes to right his mistake, and Terra wishes to return the favor. Only one of them can walk away from the inevitable conflict.
How will the Chosen of Freya fare against someone who has stolen the goddess’ power for himself?
