Sanctified Lies

Holy relics are traded on the black market like tech. Fragments of angels, coded prayers, divine energy harnessed as weapons. Two rival factions rule the underground: the Sanctum (an ancient order sworn to guard relics) and the Syndicate (a mercenary group that steals and sells them).
Ava Silva is the Syndicate's best thief. Fast, reckless, and annoyingly good at breaking into churches.
Sister Beatrice is the Sanctum's most disciplined warrior. Brilliant, strategic, and sick of cleaning up Ava's messes.
When a relic capable of raising the dead goes missing, both women are forced into an uneasy partnership to recover it. The catch? The relic bonds to whoever touches it, and it's chosen Ava.
Now hunted by both sides, the thief and the nun must survive each other long enough to stop a power that could unmake the world. But as the line between faith and desire blurs, Beatrice starts wondering if sin really needs saving - or if Ava is her redemption in disguise.
