Join the Exodus or die.

Cecilia

After years of evading the Exodus, the secret society responsible for my family's destruction, I'm back and seeking revenge. Every decade, the Exodus hosts the Reckoning, a deadly gathering where members engage in sinister games. My plan: to cause as much destruction as I can even if it means infiltrating their prestigious party and eliminating them. Nothing will stand in my way—not even Darian Delacroix, the enigmatic Elder who has me in his sights.

Darian

Cecilia Van Der Meer believed she could escape the Exodus, but she was mistaken. As the heiress to one of the largest fortunes in the country and the daughter of the Elder behind my family's demise, she has become a target. Fortunately for me, she's now caught in my web, and I refuse to let her slip away. I'm determined to break her, just as her father shattered my family. But the stakes are high, and the lines between love and vengeance are about to blur.

What's it going to be, Cecilia? Marry me or die?

They're dead.

I watched them die. That's the only reason we're here in the no-name town,

living in this creepy old house, whose shadows promise more than just darkness.

The only thing worse than the house are the woods behind it.

Where the whispers in the wind lead you to a deafening silence.

Something lurks here, nests here, thrives here. It feeds on us.

Our chaos, our anger, our desire.

The desire I shouldn't have for my step-brother, Dominic, but can't seem to ignore.

The dark depravity and painful pleasure we share together.

It's here for me. Wants me, my secrets and my fear.

It will do anything and kill anyone to get to me. I need to stop it.

I need to protect the people I love.

I will stop at nothing to end the madness, even if it kills me.
