THE CULT By E.L. Beth Aavah Smith never saw it coming. Fooled by the one person she trusted most-her best friend-she is lured into the clutches of a sadistic, white supremacist cult. Deep in the secluded compound, Aavah becomes nothing more than a prisoner, subjected to brutal conditioning and mental torment. Her captor, Will Hamilton, is as cold as he is cruel. Under the guise of righteousness, he uses the Bible as his weapon, forcing Aavah to recite verses that cut deeper than any whip. Every refusal, every tear, every act of defiance earns her punishment. But Aavah refuses to break. Trapped in a world where pain is gospel and hate is doctrine, she begins to play the only card she has left-seduction. If she can make Will feel something for her, anything, it might be her only chance at survival. In this twisted game of manipulation and obsession, Aavah walks a deadly line between surrender and strategy. Because falling in love with the enemy might just be her greatest weapon-or her final downfall. A dark, intense tale of captivity, control, and the dangerous lengths one woman must go to for freedom.
