The Grid
‘She took a chance that seemed so foreign and strange to her. She grappled with it, then grasped it with both hands. Ignatia had traversed the grid.’
Ignatia Bai has spent her life playing by the rules. A respected educational inspector, a wife, a mother—she’s built a world of order and control. But when duty calls her away from the polished halls of Sacerdos and into the tangled, seductive labyrinth of Terra Magna’s portal network, everything she knows is about to unravel.
Her mission is simple: evaluate the White Leaf educators. But as she journeys deeper into the grid—a web of intrigue, power, and untamed pleasure—Ignatia finds herself drawn into a world she never imagined. A world of whispered secrets, dangerous politics, and forbidden desires.
Each new portal brings temptation, each encounter pushing her further past the limits of restraint. In the arms of strangers, she explores the depths of her longing, discovering the raw, electrifying power of surrender. But pleasure comes at a cost, and as Ignatia's journey unfolds, she is forced to confront the most dangerous question of all: once you've tasted true freedom, can you ever go back?
A standalone novella set in the world of The Sacerdos Mysteries, The Grid is an intoxicating tale of power, passion, and self-discovery. Gritty, sensual, and deeply immersive, it will take you to the edge... and leave you craving more.
This book is intended for mature audiences.
