Then, a string of murders plunged Ashenville into fear. They called it "The Sinner," attributing the killings to transgressions against God. As Kyla navigates this treacherous town, she is forced to confront not only the horrifying reality of "The Sinner," but also the suffocating power of the Blackwood family, who hold Ashenville in their iron grip. But why Ashenville? What compels "The Sinner" to take innocent lives? Are they truly victims, or are they instigators? Are you willing to sacrifice love for the sake of many? Or to turn your back on her for Ashenville? Will she find redemption in the darkness, or will she become another victim of "The Sinner"? "I can't bear to see your happiness, to see you with her. When you smile for her, it steals my place in your heart. You belong only to me. I am all you need... and no one else..."
