Promising
(Book)

For mature audiences.

A young woman starting out on her own falls hopelessly in love with two men while on a dangerous path to leadership. Promising is the riveting follow-up to Awakening by Rebel Miller. Faced with diverging loyalties -- between those she loves and her responsibility to the Realm -- Kira has to make heartrending and strategic decisions that threaten to jeopardize her future. As her connection to Tai deepens and turmoil in the Realm builds, so does Gannon's frustration at being unable to call Kira his own. While the Realm stands defiant amidst rising unrest, Kira is thrust into a role that puts her at the forefront of her system's governance and law, and supporting a landmark position. Following a devastating turn of events, she turns to Tai for a shoulder to lean on after making a painful choice to ensure Gannon fulfils the role he was meant for. As she becomes a reluctant, yet inspiring, voice for her caste, Kira learns about one of the Realm's most well-kept secrets and how far leadership will go to prevent it from being revealed. What she doesn't know is how much the decisions of her past have the power to bring enemies into her path, threatening to destroy everyone she holds close to her heart.
