Trial of the Sun Queen (Artefacts of Ouranos, #1)

by Nisha J. Tuli

Tears are only useful when they’re brandished as a weapon. But some days are harder than others.

it’s then I come face to face with what feels inexplicably like a shift in the course of my entire destiny.

I won’t kill her. Maybe. I’m very tempted. No, I can’t do that. She just needs to understand this is one rat who won’t put up with her shit.

This is all-consuming. This is like drowning in fire. I could perish in those eyes. Lose myself in his scent. Wrap myself in those strong, muscled limbs and never resurface, content to die and never draw another breath, all with a smile on my face.

That innocuous bar of soap that landed me in the Hollow and then led me here to this garden, tossing me into the unpredictability of fate’s path.
