Emissary E B Brooks

Ewan O'Meara dreams of becoming the greatest adventurer Veridor has ever known. Problem is, there haven't been any epic quests since the ancient war of independence. His parents keep badgering him to take a respectable profession, and the overbearing Church soaks him for penance gold every time he dies.

When he encounters a young woman fleeing arrest, he can't resist helping her. At first glance, Treanna Rothchild needs it: she's clueless about Veridian life. But she has other skills that defy Ewan's understanding, and she knows things. Unsettling, seditious things the Church wants kept secret at any cost.

And she's here to raise an army.

Risking both life and soul, Ewan follows Treanna where no Veridian has been, but he must come to terms with the harsh world she reveals as he discovers how much they have in common--and how much they depend on each other to survive.
