About this series

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.

She was chosen by a divine power. They were chosen by the people.

Now, a war is brewing in the halls of government against all that she holds dear.

Fifteen-year-old Emma Barlow isn't just a high school student; she's the High Priestess, the chosen leader of her faith, gifted with the Sovereign’s tangible power. But in a world where politics and faith are on a collision course, her divine calling has made her a target.

The nation’s formidable Prime Minister sees Emma not as a blessed leader, but as a threat to her corrupt agenda. When a series of hostile bills are introduced in the Senate to strip Emma of her title and shut down her school, it’s clear the government is declaring war.

But the attacks aren't just political. A darkness is rising, and the Prime Minister is more than a mere politician—she’s a powerful adversary who can strike in the spiritual realm. Pinned down in a supernatural battle she isn’t prepared for, Emma is nearly destroyed.

To survive, she must rely on more than her own strength. With the help of her loyal friends, a determined reporter, and the divine guidance of the Sovereign, Emma must unravel a sprawling conspiracy that reaches the highest levels of power.

From stopping riots with a prayer to uncovering secret communications that could topple those in power, Emma fights a battle on two fronts. As she pursues the politicians who want her silenced, she must wield her faith as both a shield and a weapon.

Will her divine connection be enough to expose the truth and save her nation, or will the darkness she’s fighting consume everything she holds dear?
