Anathema (The Eating Woods, #1)

by Keri Lake

How tragic that a woman’s worth equated to the depth of a man’s pockets.

Much as they, the high and holy mages, denounced the power, they were always intrigued by it.

I pondered her cold words. How easily she’d spoken them.

Something urged me to take it off and find something a bit more modest, but I paused, trying to discern whose voice had demanded such a thing.

Nothing but a question mark that loomed over me. Haunting me, day in and day out.
