Blood is currency, magic is monstrous, and vampires are ruthlessly hunted by the Holy Crusaders.
Valentina Tudor is the most powerful witch to be born in over two centuries. To her coven, she is the key to the Revelation, a long-awaited uprising that will overthrow the Holy Order and restore the world's natural balance. But if she fails, she will burn at the stake ... like all the witches who have been tasked with leading the insurrection before her.
Logan Kingsley has been training since the age of five years old to be a Holy Crusader. When it comes to witches and vampires, she is merciless, cruel, and exacting ... exactly as her father, the Archbishop, wants her to be.
When the Church announces the Sacred Trials, an archaic ritual of murderous games, Valentina and Logan are finally given the opportunity to prove themselves. The winner of the Trials gets a right-hand seat at the Archbishop's side. For Valentina, this could finally give her the chance to destroy the system ... from within. But tensions are rising in both the Trials and the city of Canaan. Valentina and Logan are inexplicably drawn to one another, even as they compete against each other. Valentina finds herself falling for Logan, despite knowing that they are enemies―both inside and outside of the games.
200 years after the Schism, God has exacted a fatal balance upon humankind. Everything comes with a price.
And as the nights stretch longer, monsters grow bloodthirstier, and a strange sickness breaches the city borders, infecting those who touch it with uncontrollable, violent hunger, the precarious balance that underpins the world threatens to collapse. It seems God is finally demanding a toll for human sin.
And the price for love might just be eternal damnation.
