Faya Hathaway is no stranger to unfathomable trauma. Hell, she was born into it. A world where she had no control over her own life or destiny. Just a lone figure, surrounded by a diabolical society, without any friends or a real family. Most feared and loathed her due to her father. Others shunned and degraded her due to her ways. This suits her just fine, as Faya would rather hide in the weeds than attract any further attention. However, after her stepmother disappears, Faya finds herself further entangled in the world she hates. She knows the rules perfectly well and has now been saddled with the woman's debt, which the Hounds of Hell have been sent to collect. But what happens when one unsuspecting Polaris crashes through her impermeable façade? Invading her heart, the very place Faya sealed and bound tightly long ago? Is it nothing more than smoke and mirrors? Is it merely a ploy like so many others? Or could it be... ⎯ 21 - This is a dark romance set in the underworld of Sinclair, a city known to locals as Sin City.
