About this ebook
An enchanting enemies-to-lovers fantasy about an exiled saint and the devout iconographer sent to paint him, for fans of Divine Rivals and A Study in Drowning.
The Abbey has controlled the minds of its patrons for a millennium through memory magic, stolen from exiled saints. At fifteen, Jude was exiled from the Abbey to the bleak moors in the countryside, to maintain their control over his bourgeoning magic. Almost a decade later, he wants to live a normal life free from the Abbey’s oppressive gaze. When they send Maeve, a stubbornly devout iconographer, to paint an updated icon of him, Jude makes it his mission to get rid of her as soon as possible. That is until he discovers she holds the same tainted magic of the saints as he does, and that the icons she paints may be the key to destroying the Abbey's power.
As Jude and Maeve draw closer, the two of them face a choice—they can take on the full power of the Abbey and risk their lives for freedom or escape back to exile and make the most of their fading memories. But this institution has eyes everywhere, and the only thing the Abbey loves more than a saint is a martyr.

Loved reading the spellbinding and mesmerizing paranormal story. Maeve is sent by the Abbey to paint a new icon of Jude, a saint, and to spy on him and report what she finds back to the Abbey, but as she gets to know Jude, she learns the nefarious ways of the Abbey, her feelings for Jude become stronger, and wonders how both Maeve and Jude can stop the Abbey. Read the highly recommended, wonderfully written full of mystery and suspense, and a must read riveting romance story.
