Seven sins. Seven virtues. An eternal battle. A delicate balance, one that is never achieved. Until the day, the anchor is born… Orphaned at seventeen by a brutal tragedy, Alima Vasquez finds herself adrift in a strange new world. Abused, humiliated and shunned, she believes her life can’t get worse. And then, a bedtime story, told to her by her mother over the years, starts to come to life. At first, she is convinced the strange happenings are a product of her overburdened mind or the result of petty pranks played by the other kids. But when a giant snake attacks her, she’s forced to accept that maybe, just maybe, there is more at stake here. For Alima, is the anchor, the Aritram. The last hope of humanity. She is all that stands between Evil and its plans for domination of all the worlds in existence. With the Virtues at her back, she takes her place in this epic battle of Good Vs Evil. But there is just one problem. Alima’s powers have not yet awoken. Will they awake before it’s too late? Or will the fate of all the worlds slip through her fingers tumbling through space and time and landing in the deepest bowels of Hell itself? And what will she do when the inmates of those very bowels decide to come out and play?
