KARMA - The Force of Justice
ISBN-978-1-4917-6368-1
Carmen is a young nurse with supernatural abilities to control objects and her surroundings. These abilities allow her to bring about justice—karma, rewarding good deeds but inflicting punishments for wrongdoing. Some of her interventions into others’ lives are small, but some are quite instrumental, and with grave consequences.
During Carmen’s mission to make restitutions, she finds herself falling in love. Should she tell her new love about her talent or keep it secret as she begins a life with him? Perhaps she might lose him altogether. What will she do? What will the outcome be?
Along her journey, she finds herself questioning the reason for her gift and even ponders giving it up, and she dares to question why she is punished and not rewarded for her own good deeds.
Have you ever wished that you had the ability to bring on karma in your own way?
Just think of the possibilities!
