She was worshipped as a saint.
Now they may be the end of everything.
Once a priest, Gabriel Bellamy now rules the shadows beneath a ruined cathedral—an underground fight club where the damned bleed to feel alive.
Here, violence is penance. Blood is confession.
Redemption comes one broken bone at a time.
But salvation was never meant to be clean.
Then Izzy Montgomery walks into his sanctum like a prophecy in human skin.
She’s not just fleeing a cult—she was its holy weapon, chosen to ignite the end times.
Haunted by visions and hunted by zealots, Izzy doesn’t know whether she’s cursed or chosen, but she knows one the darkness inside her is waking up.
And it wants Gabriel.
Their connection is instant, feral—a collision of need and nightmare. Together, they are obsession made flesh, pain made sacred. But as Izzy’s powers grow and the cult tightens its grip, Gabriel realizes she may not be the woman who saves him—she may be the fire that burns down what little of his soul remains.
Because the prophecy doesn’t she’s not here to save the world. She’s here to end it.
And Gabriel?
He’s either her protector, or her first victim.
