Everyone's a sinner. A self-destructive heiress. An unbreakable brotherhood. A secret. A legacy. A brutal, inescapable seduction. There are things Zara Faire wishes she never knew about her father. After returning to New Rome in the wake of her mother's funeral, an invitation to an elusive club introduces her to a sinister world of organized crime that she learns she belongs to by birthright. There, she witnesses an execution at the hands of the Cardinals and becomes the perfect pawn in a vicious, deadly game. The most feared men in the city, Pope, Wraith, Reaper, and Eros, have blood on their hands, and now that they have their poor little rich girl—they are never letting her go. Some sins can't be forgiven. Contains mature themes.
