She hears sins for a living. His could destroy the kingdom.

For ten years, Zariah has lived a double life—priestess by day, resistance member by night. The confessional is her weapon, secrets her currency. She's never met a sin she couldn't use.

Then the prince walks in.

Prince Nevan is golden, gorgeous, and hiding something monstrous. When he confesses to joining the House of Blood, Zariah knows the kingdom is in danger. Then that night, his people attack a tavern—and Zariah is forced to flee, leaving her best friend behind.

Vengeance is all she has left.

Now Zariah has a new mission. Infiltrate the palace. Get close to the prince. Make him pay.

But Nevan isn't the monster she expected. He's fighting his bloodlust, protecting her from threats she doesn't see coming, and looking at her like she's the only thing keeping him human.

When a web of betrayal reveals enemies in places she never suspected, Zariah must decide: complete her mission and watch him burn—or trust the vampire prince with the secret that could get them both killed.
