When a young Sister of Sin arrives at the Ministry with nothing but her paints, her cat, and a desperate need to survive, she expects obedience, silence, and sacrifice, not secrets buried deep within the stone walls of faith.
Life inside the abbey follows rigid rituals: devotion by day, corruption by night, and a hierarchy that demands submission without explanation. But when whispers of betrayal, forbidden bloodlines, and vanished Papas begin to surface, she finds herself standing too close to truths that were never meant to be uncovered.
As power shifts and a reluctant, unconventional Cardinal is thrust into the spotlight, an unexpected bond forms, one rooted in gentleness, desire, and a shared sense of being out of place in a world ruled by dogma and control. What begins as quiet companionship soon becomes something far more dangerous: love inside a system that consumes what it cannot dominate.
Surrounded by feral devotion, ancient magic, and watchful eyes, she must decide what she is willing to become to protect those she loves and what price faith demands when innocence collides with ambition.
In a Ministry where nothing is sacred and everything is ritual, loyalty is lethal, love is rebellion, and survival may require burning the world down from within., dark romance, fiction, mystery, , Jayme| | 155PAGES
