In a world ruled by the Seven Sins, to love is the ultimate crime.

Eva Marteinn, a reluctant prodigy with a hidden gift for killing, is thrust into the brutal world of the Commonwealth's elite executioners. Her mentor, Ari Westergaard, is everything she fears: skilled, ruthless, and irresistibly tempting.

As Eva struggles with her newfound powers and Ari grapples with his forbidden feelings, they uncover a conspiracy that could topple the Commonwealth itself. Caught between loyalty and rebellion, Eva and Ari must decide if their love is worth risking everything.

Fans of Divergent and Fourth Wing will be captivated by this dark, seductive tale of power, betrayal, and the ultimate forbidden love.
