Saint Aegis

At five years old, Maeve Hart lost everything when an arson attack claimed her parents' lives, and the killer walked free. Sent to Saint Aegis, a strict orphanage run by reverend sisters in the outskirts of Varley City. Maeve quickly learned that this wasn't a place of kindness. The girls were taught how to live, how to obey, and how to follow the orphanage's strange and unsettling practices. The only hope of escape? Adoption at eighteen.

For years, the promise of adoption fueled the dreams of the girls at Saint Aegis. They believed that it meant freedom, a family, and a chance at a new life. But when Maeve begins to question the disappearances of the girls who are supposedly adopted, she uncovers a horrifying truth: the orphanage isn't a sanctuary-it's a prison. The girls aren't being saved; they're being sold.

With her eighteenth birthday fast approaching, Maeve must find a way out before she becomes another lost soul in the sinister web of Saint Aegis. But escaping is easier said than done. The sisters are always watching, and the truth is more dangerous than she could ever imagine.
