Shaken by a brush with death, Kit Mosel and Penny Oliver push forward with their initiation rites. Dark trials edge them closer to uncovering the truth behind the god the cult worships, and what they learn bolsters their resolve to dismantle the Bone Men.
But they can't do it alone.
To stand a chance, Kit and Penny must risk everything by reaching out to others inside the cult, unsure who they can trust, or if betrayal is already brewing. Any misstep could mean exposure. And exposure means death.
Meanwhile, life in Ashpoint feels increasingly hostile as their enemies work to drive Kit and Penny away. With danger closing in and secrets pressing at every seam, their hard-won connection—and growing romance—may not survive what comes next.

Kit and Penny are so near and dear to my heart. I adore them so much. Their relationship is the sweetest thing ever.
The story, like always, is fantastic! It has such a natural progression that by the time I got to the end, I needed more immediately. And that cliffhanger... CJ and Quinn, when I catch you...
CJ Tuma and Quinn Cameron brilliantly tread the thin line between - of all things - the awfulness of a death cult setting and a loving, cozy romance. I don't know how it's possible, but it's true and I am delighted to have found this unique series.
Big Not Thank You to the authors for MAKING ME CRY HELLO
This book was sweet. Very cozy and romantic and beautiful and then that ENDING. HOW. DARE. YOU.
I cannot wait to see what happens next. I am obsessed with this story.
