This captivatingly dark romance is set in Blackwater Falls, a town with a sinister secret. Twelve souls are selected each year for "The Scourge," a brutal survival game where only one returns. Haunted by her past, Rowen willingly steps into the deadly ritual, seeking redemption. But Elias, driven by revenge, sees The Scourge as his chance to make Rowen pay, igniting a dangerous, obsessive tension between them. Ivy Fox masterfully combines suspense and emotion, taking readers on a gripping journey through betrayal, survival, and forbidden passion. This intense, morally complex story keeps you hooked until the last page, challenging your perceptions of love and vengeance in a raw, unforgettable way and impossible to put down.
