Terms of Service by Irina Rempt

Senthi is the cleverest novice at her temple, with the strongest psychic gift. But at twelve years old she isn’t ready to be groomed for the position of High Priestess as her teachers want. After she uses her gift against a friend, she flees the temple, never to return. Homeless and friendless in the dangerous port city of Essle, Senthi is taken under the wing of powerful guildmistress Venla, who offers her a safe place to belong. Proper training for her gift. Education in trade and combat, with the chance to amass wealth and power of her own. All in the service of the dark god Archan, whose name most people do not dare to use. Senthi is soon too busy to question how her service to Archan is changing her. When her deeds catch up with her, how will she break free of his power? Can she ever become the person she is supposed to be?
