‘You don’t have to take his venom, not tonight,’ she said calmly, her own words laced with salt, ‘he’s already hurt you enough.’
When Matilda Harrow stumbles across a hidden labyrinth, in the ruins of an ancient church, she sets in motion a cycle which will deliver change. The twisting path leads her to a chamber, a goddess, and a chance for transformation.
Matilda has been trapped in a relationship, too scared to leave; Callan Marwood uses his skills as a doctor to keep her compliant and to keep her dependent. She had tried to escape before, and failed, with the knitted bones and terrifying memories to prove it.
Resigned to a life numb and broken, she is cautious when Lilith offers to help. Yet, in the darkness of the labyrinth stirs a rage waiting to be claimed, a primal power ready to emerge into the light, destined to provide salvation or death.
Discover the journey, one step at a time.
