Blurb
How much would you risk for someone you love—when the price is your soul?
Witch-hunts aren’t just for the history books. In today’s New Orleans where exorcists prowl like wolves and every prayer could be a curse, Delilah and her infernal found family claw for survival—caught between a corrupt Church, a vengeful Hell, and the lies they tell to protect each other.
Betrayal stings, faith fractures, loyalty is a dangerous thing. And when a single night unearths secrets that should have stayed buried, every sin they’ve survived might not be their last.
Content Warnings

Teaser Excerpt
The front door opens.
All the locks, one by one, scrape back with a soft, dreadful finality—a sound so cold and hollow it tolls through the frozen house like a death knell.
The door creaks wide, gentle and slow. No light, just a shadow—a monstrous silhouette in the shape of a little girl, darker than the darkness itself, stretches across the floor.
And then that voice. That sweet, freezing lullaby, singsong and girlish, echoing from the void: “Hello, boys!”
