Published

I thought surviving my brother’s war was the hardest part.

But now that I’ve uncovered a dead girl’s final warning, there’s no escaping the nightmare I’ve been pulled into.

Sin, Markus, and Dax.

Their demands are absolute. Relentless. Seductive. And the choice they’re giving me is simple—bind myself to them, or let the outside world burn us to the ground.

And then there are the vows.

The ones I can’t outrun.

Time has run out, the smoke is rising, and the blood laws they live by will change everything. Their secrets are unraveling, the danger is at our gates, and they aren’t hiding their monsters from me anymore.

They aren’t just my captors, they’re my new addiction. Whatever darkness is coming next, I’ve stepped straight into a fire I have no desire to put out.

I don’t know what the future holds.

I don’t know if they’re my sanctuary…or my ultimate ruin.

All I know is this: the deeper I fall, the harder it is to fight them.

And in a house built on sins, surrendering to the dark might be the only way I survive…
