"She has lost herself to the darkness and I can do nothing but watch with awestruck abandon as the torch of her rage burns the entire world to ash and cinder." Desperate to escape the pressure of a society ruled by religious fanatics, typically level-headed medic Lark Aniyah orchestrates a storm that results in her being arrested, tortured and forced to marry a snarky stranger who would sooner see her dead than as his wife. Given no choice but to leave behind everything she's ever known, her hatred of the Flock of the True Light feels as if it may consume her whole.
This hatred is the only common ground that Lark and her new husband seem to share.
It's no secret that Warren Ilyas' top priority is keeping his little sister safe in a land that is plagued by violence, disease and poverty. The last thing he needs to add to his mounting list of responsibilities is a fraudulent marriage to a woman whose existence he despises... or so he thinks.
Thrown into a world of brutality, bloodshed, betrayal and deception- the two may need each other more than they ever could've imagined.
