Publisher's Synopsis
Welcome to the Isle of Salvatorem.
A new world risen up by the Saviour to save us from our own destructionist souls.
A place where sins mark your skin with all of your deepest, darkest temptations for everyone to see; to judge, to scorn...
All so that we might remain free....
Or at least that is what we are told.
As Raewyn's trial inches closer, she is worried that she is not like those around her - that her thoughts and emotions, swirling with questions about the way the world works; would be seen as traitorous more than curious.
That the desire to feel from her soul, and not her duty to society; would be seen as lustful and covetous instead of honest.
Being crowned the first Pure of the Citadel is a fate worse than death for Raewyn - who struggles to control her emotions behind the crumbling walls she's constructed in her mind.
So, when the all too arrogant Nix shows up and says he can help, she should jump at the chance to regain control of her inner impulses. Right?
Except Nix is hiding more than he shows...
As duty bound expectations, and secrets that start to sound like sins, mount faster and heavier on Raewyn's shoulders - she will have to make choices that will impact not only her future, but the security of her family's position within the fickle nobles of the Citadel.
But the Saviour's Covenant is a righteous law, and one way or another -
The truth shall be set free...
