A dark contemporary romance story from the viral BookTok author and USA Today's bestselling Emily McIntire, featuring reimagined characters from popular fairy tales and other stories.
He is justice. She is sin.
Father Cade Frédéric is a holy man. Raised on the streets of Paris, he has devoted his life to the church. But there is a monster lurking beneath the surface. A disease. An illness that bleeds darkness and feeds on the damned.
When he is assigned to be the priest in Festivalé, Vermont, a town beautiful in its architecture but steeped in depression, his illness sings, demanding to decimate the wicked.
Amaya Paquette is Festivalé's beautiful mystery. She spends her days caring for her little brother and her nights transforming into Esmeralda, dancing for desirous eyes and shameless lips. Though she craves love, she avoids companionship, fearing she’ll be abandoned again.
When Father Cade sees Amaya, he is trapped, convinced she is using magic to draw him in. He can't eat. He can't breathe. He can't think if not for her. And temptation is a destructive mistress.
She is his weakness, so he decides she will be her ruin... even if it means killing the only woman he might ever love.
