The Heart of Eden: A Dark Thriller Romance
I thought I'd survived the worst of it.
The lies. The betrayal. The blood.
But surviving was only the beginning.
Now I know the truth about the men who broke me,
and about the monsters who turned me into one, too.
They took my body.
They tried to steal my mind.
And now I'm coming for their lives.
Because this war isn't just about survival anymore.
It's about burning their sacred halls to ash.
It's about reckoning.
They crowned me a sacrifice, a vessel, a lamb.
Now they'll learn exactly what kind of person I've become.
The Heart of Eden is the third novel in The Sanguine Doctrine series, with a list of trigger warnings and extremely explicit content. Please read safely!
