The Ghost and the Sinner

Scarlett was born into a world that was owned by the Church of Daylight. They took her voice from her, and freedom was just a fairytale read about in the only book she was ever allowed to read: Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. They made her the Favorite of the Leaders, promised her to the pastor’s son, and taught her that obedience is survival. She followed the rules to the letter until, that was, a new pair of eyes fell on her back.

Her Ghost, her Hatter, gave her a new way to speak, rewriting the rules and bringing forth a possibility she had never considered before: escape. In his world, she was no longer a Favorite, looked at lustfully by everyone around her, but a Queen of Hearts with an ability to act on the quiet rage that had been building in her chest for longer than she could remember.

For years, Azrael has been working behind the scenes, manipulating carefully his own brothers and sisters to get to this point. Things begin falling into place, but what begins as a calculated extraction becomes an undeniable obsession. He needs the dear little prized possession of the church to work with him, what he hadn’t considered was how much this little Chosen One would mean to him.

The Ghost and The Sinner is a vicious, intoxicating dark romance about power, reclamation, and a love that looks too much like ruin. Tick tock goes the clock, even for the sinners.
