Publisher's Synopsis
Not every love is meant to save you. Sometimes you have to save yourself.
Lydia is a Seer-one of the rare Enhanced Sense Adepts bound to the Auctus, an elite order that enforces a fragile peace across a war-torn realm. Her visions shape the fate of empires, but in a world ruled by fear and power, truth is the most dangerous weapon of all. And Lydia is its unwilling messenger.
Cursed with foresight no one wants to hear, Lydia is caught between those who would use her, those who would silence her, and those who might just destroy her. The Crown wants to control her. The Auctus demands her obedience. And others? They'd kill for the power she possesses.
Haunted by visions of rebellion and ruin, Lydia must navigate a deadly game of shifting alliances, ruthless ambition, and forbidden longing. There's the reckless prince who would give up everything for her. The hardened guard who watches her too closely. And the rival who would kill to possess her Sight. Each holds a piece of her future-but which will lead to salvation, and which to betrayal? In a realm where love is a liability and trust can cost you your life, Lydia must decide who she is-pawn, prophet, or something far more dangerous.
Treasure. Weapon. Threat. Lydia will be all three before the end.
Step into the spellbinding world of Deirdre Lyons, where dark intrigue, forbidden romance, and mythic power collide in a sweeping tale of fate, love, and the peril of knowing too much. Inspired by the myth of Cassandra and the fall of the Lydian Empire, A Clear Path explores the cost of knowledge, the burden of choice, and the danger of denial.
A Clear Path is an Adult Fantasy novel intended for mature readers (18+). It contains blood, violence, slow-burn spice, betrayal, angst, and complex romantic dynamics.
The story ends on a cliffhanger and is part ONE of the Senses Saga.
