synopsis
In a city clinging to light during an age of darkness, all healer Ophelia wants is for a Saint to finally claim her and bless her with the power to work the Mysteries.
When she’s tasked with caring for an injured prisoner, Ophelia sees the perfect opportunity to prove she’s ready for her Sainting. The prisoner is none other than the Lupa Nox—the most dangerous warrior of the Sepulchyre, her homeland’s sworn enemy. If Ophelia can convert the disarmingly beautiful knight’s wicked heart to the Church of the Host, then the Saints will surely fight amongst themselves to claim her.
But the Lupa Nox insists that Ophelia’s beloved god is a murderous liar and her city is built on blackened bones. It’s easy enough to dismiss as blasphemy-at least at first. As Lumendei’s gilded secrets begin to tumble from their hiding places and Ophelia herself uncovers a conspiracy, she’s forced to consider that Nyatrix might be telling the truth.
And that saving the alluring knight’s soul is the least of her problems.
