He vowed silence.
He vowed purity.
He burned an entire monastery to claim her.
Isolde was meant to disappear-buried in a quiet monastery to repent for the scandal that ruined her family. Her unwanted husband, Brother Cassian Vale, was meant to keep her in line: silent, detached, holy.
But Cassian is no saint.
He is the Church's best-kept secret-The Butcher of Adrion, tucked away behind vows meant to leash the monster within. And sharing a hallway with the woman he was forced to marry awakens every violent, forbidden urge he swore to drown in prayer.
His pacing becomes obsession.
His silence becomes possession.
And when another man dares to touch her, the saint shatters-and the sinner rises.
Now, Isolde is the spark and Cassian is the wildfire.
The monastery wants to cast her out.
Cassian would rather burn the world.
When the bell tower rings its final warning, she must decide:
flee the monster everyone fears...
or fall willingly into the arms of the man who would destroy heaven for her.
A dark romance of obsession, ruin, and a love too dangerous to cage.
