★★★★★ "This story is dark and lust-filled. It's forbidden and sexy. It's infuriating and sinful." -Boys In Books Are Better, Goodreads Review-
MERCY
Neglecting my duty to serve is a sin, and during the last full moon, I became a sinner.
He saw me run from my duty, chased me, and caught me.
He promised me that I would be punished.
But I never could have imagined the hellish fate that would be chosen for me. More than that, I never could have imagined the maddening lust that would spark between me and the man who caught me.
This passion is forbidden…and it might set us on fire.
ARLO
It's my role to catch the sinners, and Mercy sinned gravely.
I saw her and I chased her, drawn to her inexplicably.
She sparked something within me, but she had to be brought to judgment.
Her punishment is coming in the form of an archaic ritual we're bringing back to make an example of her. I'll be her warden, her keeper, the man to ensure she stays alive between her torturous trials.
Something within her brings out the worst of me…and the worst of me wants to ruin her.
This dystopian dark romance is a story of forbidden love.

MERCY
Death has always been chasing me, and I fear it's finally caught up.
If this trial doesn't end my life, it will surely take my mind.
And nothing could have prepared me for the despair yet to come.
Though everything seems hopeless, my love for Arlo remains constant. A part of me wants to give up and fade away with him. But secrets are being kept, and though I never expected to live long enough to learn the truth, a brewing rebellion might be the end of it all.
If Arlo and I are going down in flames, at least we can burn Ember Glen down with us.
ARLO
The end of everything approaches, and I've never felt so lost.

If I could complete it in her stead, I would trade places with her in a heartbeat.
I can't do anything for her, and it wrecks my soul. My sanity is shattered, and I lose all control. And though my actions draw death nearer, its imminence inspires boldness. When we finally discover the truth, we have nothing left to lose.
One way or another, Mercy and I will end this—either everything will change, or we'll leave this place burning in our wake.
