Quote:THE SMALLEST SPARK CAN BIND TWO HEARTS . OR START A REVOLUTION
In the magic-soaked capital city of Oluwan, Small Sade needs a job-preferably as a maid, for employers who don't mind her unique appearance and unlucky foot.
But before she can be hired, she accidentally binds herself to a powerful being known only as the Crocodile, a god rumored to devour pretty girls. Small Sade entrances the Crocodile with her secret: She is not only an orphan and an aspiring maid, but also a Curse-Eater, gifted with the ability to alter people's fates by cleaning their houses.
The handsome god warns that their fates are bound, but Small Sade evades him, launching herself into a new career as the Curse-Eater of a swanky inn. She is determined to impress the wealthy inhabitants and earn her place in Oluwan City . assuming her secret-filled past-and the revolutionary ambitions of the Crocodile God-don't catch up with her.
But maybe there is more to Small Sade. And maybe everyone in Oluwan City deserves more, too-from the maids all the way to the Anointed Ones.
