The Lethean Glamour Index
Story
Holly Asher, powerful mystic and the destiny goddess Largessa's Branded, was raised in a library - not just a library, but the library, St. Arethusa International Convent and Library. Nearly all of her life experiences took place in Arethusa, and she'd love nothing more than to keep going like that. Just when Holly begins to assume Largessa's brand means nothing, an old annoyance returns to her library, Branded by a powerful god and demanding her help. When a series of astounding coincidences reveal the key to the greatest and most complete library of all time, and consequently to the answer to the war that has raged between Draconians and humans for three centuries, she has no choice but to answer the call of Largessa and begin the quest to end the Great War.
