Love Lost - Alethea's Lament, #1

Friends since childhood, Alethea and Eramaus find themselves embarking upon an adventure. But this is no tame childhood stroll in the rainforests of their youth: this is a journey of faith to the Holy City, for they have been called to serve their god, the Lord of Light. But Alethea is constantly called a Dark One, a child of Night, unworthy of becoming a mediki. Eramaus follows her to protect her, only to find himself falling in love. Will he have the strength necessary to deliver both of them to the Holy City in time to complete their initiate vows, or will Alethea's faith falter before they even get there?
