Ten-year-old Isaac Bahan is preparing to become a man. He’ll be branded as official property of the city-state of Calabrecia. His entire family are in attendance when a raiding band of enemy soldiers from neighboring Monasco murders Isaac's father and rides off into the Desert of Sähm with his body as a war trophy. Little Isaac vows revenge, however long it takes.
A
few miles away, twelve-year-old Monascan army cadet, Tai Ogami, excels in the
brutal Monascan military training. Her progress is monitored by the Monascan
ruler's most trusted advisor, Lieutenant Arturus Olanga. Tai progresses until
reaching god-like status at the age of twenty-one, and Olanga's jealousy boils
as she prepares to make her final rite of passage to the most elite warrior
status. Her mission is to infiltrate a Calabrecian slave colony, and at the end
of one year assassinate one of her generous colony hosts. Deemed “Monasco’s
greatest expectation”, Tai knows this assignment will prove her worthy of a
grander future than she had ever dreamed.
Tai finds herself in 2nd-colony-Calabrecia where she befriends a now bitter and unpleasant Isaac Bahan. Her mission becomes dangerously complicated when she soon falls in love with Isaac’s beautiful sister Seraya. Tai must now choose between revealing to Seraya the truth of what she really is, or maintaining her cover to achieve Monascan glory. Love of Seraya—an enemy slave—is treason, but duty means the treacherous murder of a friend and the betrayal of the woman she loves. This is THE PASSAGE TO ANATHEMA.
