Metamorphosis by Decree

In the city of Theopolis, young priestess Katelarin has spent five quiet years keeping temple books—until the night Holy Mirsha herself appears in blazing glory, charging Kate with an impossible quest. She must recover the stolen Tablets of Markinet from a legendary tower of evil that has consumed every soul brave or foolish enough to enter. Armed with little more than faith and accompanied by a misfit band including a disgraced knight, a failed mage, and a deadly Southern warrior, Kate ventures beyond the abandoned Wall into a savage wilderness where ancient gods still walk and magic flows like blood.
But political forces within her own temple work to destroy her mission before it begins, and the tower ahead promises horrors beyond imagination—undead armies, soul-stealing demons, and immortal sorcerers who've conquered death itself. As Kate's small band faces trials that will test not just their courage but their very souls, she begins to discover that her divine quest may be about far more than recovering ancient artifacts. In a world where faith and power collide, Kate must find the strength to become the hero her goddess believes her to be—or watch everything she holds dear crumble into darkness.
