Publisher Description

Who said you can never go home again?

Vola screwed up. Big time. Thanks to her mistakes during the coup, she’s been stripped of her shield and labeled a black paladin, an oathbreaker. But who is she without her shield? Does she even know?

Cut off from her goddess, Vola tries to distance herself from Sorrel, Lillie, and Talon, to protect them from her mistake one last time. But the only place she can think to retreat to is the last place she ever wanted to go. Home.

Now she’s got to find a job in her hometown with her loving and highly supportive parents breathing down her neck, while her party tracks her down and refuses to accept her resignation. The only thing that could make it all better is a chance to bag the bad guy who was responsible for her mistake during the coup. And that’s just the opportunity that comes waltzing into her parents’ cottage.

But Vola’s not a paladin anymore. Is she still worth anything without her goddess to back her up?
