Description
Raised in the Commonwealth, where citizens live and die by the code of the Seven Sins, Eva Marteinn is sickened by the barbaric punishments the High Priests inflict. She sees the Bellators of Light, the Commonwealth’s executioners, as conscienceless killers.
When she’s Chosen as the first female bellator, Eva is devastated. She turns out to be inordinately gifted at the very role she abhors . . . no thanks to her dismissive, impossible mentor, Ari Westergaard.
Ari’s indifference conceals a dangerous secret: He’s loved Eva since they were children. When Eva falls for Ari too, she knows they should do anything to avoid each other. Love is forbidden. Lust is a death sentence. But as mentor and apprentice, they’re bound by a blood oath.
When the two uncover a secret that could overturn the Commonwealth, Eva must choose: Turn her back on Ari, and remain loyal to the only home she’s ever known—or risk everything on the slim hope of freedom, and stake her life on the boy she’s come to love.
