The Martyrs have used every weapon in their arsenal in the fight against the Sins…
Except one.
A century-old secret could destroy the most dangerous Sin or set the Underground back another hundred years. The very foundation beneath their feet and the crux of this war was built upon lies of omission, but now that Darius finally knows the whole truth, he might not be able to convince Thorn she can use it.
Because Thorn would have to confront the worst parts of herself.
With their relationship scarred and shaky, Thorn and Darius are left facing their demons alone. While she focuses on overcoming decades of corruption to uncover the light beneath, one of Darius’s oldest friends has come back to haunt him, and she’s not just making his life more difficult. She could tear the Martyrs apart.
Burdened with shame and self-loathing, Darius fails right when they need him most. Suddenly, it’s not just their foundation that’s cracking, but the very structure itself. Darius and Thorn start to wonder…
Can they forgive each other, and themselves, before the Underground collapses around them?
