One choice could cost him everything. His career. His family. His soul. Captain Flick Alastar has always been a man of duty, sacrificing his own desires for the greater good of his people in Zanther. As he stands on the brink of securing his future as High Inquisitor, he believes that he has finally found the stability and protection he has fought for. But then he meets Anca Cassy, a woman who challenges everything he thought he knew about himself and the world around him.

Anca is a follower of the outlawed god HaMelech, a deity that Flick and his people have been taught to fear and despise. Despite their opposing beliefs, Flick and Anca find themselves drawn to each other in a way that they cannot deny. But as their connection grows stronger, Flick's position as High Inquisitor becomes increasingly perilous, especially when his daughter falls gravely ill and only a prayer from Anca's god can save her.

Unbeknownst to Flick, his daughter's miraculous healing sets in motion a chain of events that will ultimately force him to confront the truth about his beliefs and the world he thought he knew. As Flick is torn between his loyalty to Solaris, the god he has always served, and the forbidden truth that Anca represents, he must make a decision that could potentially destroy him.
