Saint of the Shadows: Book 2

Advance Reader Copy

Blurb

A hero is just a bad guy who hasn't succumbed to temptation… yet.

Shadowhaven’s most feared vigilante isn’t a man at all—she’s the one commanding them.

Marisol Novotny cares for the city by day… and by night, as the Silver Spirit, she commands its hidden protectors.

Two men share the mask of the Patron Saint. One hides his love for her behind friendship and duty. The other submits, offering every part of himself to her control.

When a figure from their past brings old sins into the light, desire and loyalty collide. Justice risks turning to revolution. And love may not be enough to save them—or the city Shadowhaven—from the darkness.
