In Shadowhaven, two men embody the Patron Saint, forging one legend. Alongside Marisol, the Silver Spirit, they strike fear into sinners with righteous wrath.
Beneath the armor, their desires are laid bare. One man hides his love for his best friend, Marisol. The other offers her his heart and his obedience.
“Kneel. Watch. Be a good boy…
…promise to find me when I am lost.”
When a woman from the Patron Saint’s past returns, the sins he failed to atone for threaten everything he has built and spark revolution. Marisol’s heart divides—grief for the hero she lost, longing for the friend she refuses to love, and fire for the woman who will burn the city clean.
Only a god out of the shadows can save them.
