Breaking Gramma's greatest rules comes at a price. Can she pay? Nineteen-year-old Araine Fyr lives in routine: appease her family, mind her shop, and obey the rules. It's a safe, sustaining, predictable life. She should be grateful. Yet, it's all a lie. She's bound be secrecy, her faith, her family. She's left yearning for something more in life, to walk her own path, yet never dares to try. So, when a new customer comes to Love's Way, offering a night of freedom... She takes the chance. Calex shows her the truth behind the whispers in People's Court. She gets a taste of another life, of a different future, of freedom, before realizing the target it puts on her back. Confronted by Ancria's nobility, Araine dives into a world of corruption, conspiracy, and violence. The more she learns, the more she questions, uncovering a deep betrayal that rocks her very beliefs. Not knowing who to trust, Araine must choose between her faith and duty, to fight or to flee. As the line blurs between truth and myth, good and evil, can Araine make the right choice? Can she protect her family, friends, and faith from the empire? Or will the cost of breaking Gramma's rules be paid in blood?
