In a world where one man calls himself God...** Don rules with scripture and slaughter, his enforcers crushing anyone who dares defy his holy regime. Churches worship him. Women kneel. And rebellion is a sin punishable by fire. **Enter Priest Ice-** A liar in a *pink collar*, a rebel hiding in plain sight. He preaches Don's gospel by day and plots his downfall by night. But when a defiant girl named **Luna** is dragged to him for an *exorcism*, his carefully built lies begin to unravel. **She's no damsel-** A member of *The Nuns*, a secret sisterhood of leather-clad assassins, Luna would rather slit a man's throat than kneel for one. But when Ice saves her life with a blade and a blasphemous kiss, she's forced to trust the one man she *should* hate. **Together, they'll burn the regime to the ground...** If they don't kill each other first. --- **🌑 THEMES 🌑** ✔ **Enemies to (Obsessive) Lovers** ✔ **"Touch Her and Die" Possessiveness** ✔ **Sacrilegious Slow Burn** ✔ **Women Weaponizing Femininity** ✔ **Dark Humor & Deadly Banter** **💀 CONTENT WARNINGS 💀** Violence, religious trauma, possessive/controlling behavior, morally gray characters, and *very* twisted redemption. --- **📖 FIRST CHAPTER TEASER 📖** *"Scream like the devil's in you,"* Ice murmured, his lips brushing Luna's ear as her family listened outside the door.
