In 1925, a young entrepreneur travels to New Orleans, Louisiana, in pursuit of a fresh start. She encounters some mysterious people along the way, and supernatural occurrences as well.

Former priest Zion Fitzwilliam never planned to return to the place that broke him. After fleeing Gracepoint, he and Rosemary head north, back to the Commune-the isolated religious sect that once claimed his soul. But this time, he's not going back to stay. He's going back to save his sister and her children. Disguised as a devout priest returning to his former community, Zion must convince the Superiors that he has finally seen the error of his ways. By his side is Rosemary, posing as a pious woman seeking to join the sisterhood. But beneath their disguises, they are walking a dangerous line, navigating a web of watchful eyes, whispered gossip, and the ever-present threat of being discovered. The Superiors are suspicious, Adah is trapped in a life of silent suffering, and Rosemary is horrified by the way women are forced into submission. As Zion is pulled deeper into his old role, forced to preach the same doctrine that once enslaved him, the ghosts of his past claw their way to the surface.

It's dirty, this thing between them. Bruised knuckles, whispered prayers that taste like sin, soft hands pressing where it hurts the most. Freya's always known how to survive men who want to own her. She's never known how to survive one who wants to keep her. And Daryl? He never thought he'd want anything bad enough to ruin himself for it. Until her. This is not a love story. It's a story about wanting the wrong person in all the right ways. About how sometimes, to be saved, you first have to be ruined.
