Description

In a city ruled by a brutal cult, obedience is survival and love is a death sentence.

Rory has learned how to fight back in silence, carving her own justice into a system built on blood and ritual. Ryven is the cult’s most feared weapon: masked, loyal, and deadly. That is what everyone believes.

Once bound by love and now divided by allegiance, they are forced back into each other’s orbit when Rory becomes a target and Ryven is ordered to hunt her.

But Ryven does not just want her alive.

He wants her his.

As rebellion ignites and bodies burn, they must decide whether to submit to a world that demands sacrifice or destroy it together and rise from the ashes.

A dark dystopian romance featuring cult control, masked obsession, forbidden love, and burn-the-world devotion.

In a city ruled by a brutal cult, obedience is survival and love is a death sentence.

Rory has learned how to fight back in silence, carving her own justice into a system built on blood and ritual...

Advance Praise

Okay so I’m just gonna say it—B. Shytle is one of those authors for me where I don’t even need to know the full plot, I’m already in.

This book has that heavy, dark vibe right from the start, and you can feel the tension building the entire time. Rory and Ryven have that push and pull that keeps you hooked, like you know it’s going to get messy and you can’t look away.

But honestly? The reason I keep coming back is Brit.

The way she writes just works for me. It’s smooth, it’s emotional without trying too hard, and the tension always hits exactly where it needs to. And the spice?? Yeah… it’s fire. Every single time.

She just knows what she’s doing. Like fully.

Smut queen behavior, no notes.

At this point I don’t even question it. If her name is on it, I’m reading it. End of story. - Goodreads Reviewer

This is the first book I have read by B. Shytle, an eARC from Netgalley, thank you.

A dark and heavy storyline of Rory and Ryvern, full of hurt, betrayal and angst. Fighting the ebb and flow of wanting each other, keeping you in suspense to see how it will unfold. The tension between the two is immaculate.

The spice . . . spot on!!! Written perfectly without being overbearing. Mwah!!!

A well paced little novella, all wrapped up and leaving no unanswered questions.

Looking forward to reading more of your book soon.
