A Curiosity of Consequence

Branded by secrets she can't explain. Hunted for powers she can't control. Kjara Chedderheart had always thought her spiral markings were just a curious birthmark -until they unleash a strange power that turns a harmless prank catastrophic. Arrested, and forced to serve as the Lawkeeper's ward in a city brimming with secrets, Kjara must accept that her quiet farm life is over. And while her new duties put her in the perfect position to delve into the truth behind her markings it also means hiding her unstable abilities from everyone around her. Soon, Kjara's curiosity draws her into the heart of a deadly conspiracy against the sovereign, where every glance feels like a threat, and no one can be trusted. As she balances on the line between duty and danger, she must learn to harness her power-before the conspirators find out just who, and what, she truly is.
