Pursuing the Politicians A Speculative Fiction Novella

She was chosen by a divine power. They were chosen by the people. Now, a war is brewing in the halls of government against all that she holds dear. Fifteen-year-old Emma Barlow isn't just a high school student; she's the High Priestess, the chosen leader of her faith, gifted with the Sovereign's tangible power. But in a world where politics and faith are on a collision course, her divine calling has made her a target. The nation's formidable Prime Minister sees Emma not as a blessed leader, but as a threat to her corrupt agenda. When a series of hostile bills are introduced in the Senate to strip Emma of her title and shut down her school, it's clear the government is declaring war. But the attacks aren't just political. A darkness is rising, and the Prime Minister is more than a mere politician-she's a powerful adversary who can strike in the spiritual realm. Pinned down in a supernatural battle she isn't prepared for, Emma is nearly destroyed. To survive, she must rely on more than her own strength.
