He built a sanctuary to keep monsters out. Now he’ll become one to get her back.
Aurora ‘Rory’ Hale wakes in a velvet-cage suite—no windows, no escape, cameras behind every mirror. Senator Caldwell offers her freedom, fame, and protection if she signs away the truth about Cassian Ward and the Sanctuaries hidden beneath his spotless reputation.
Rory isn’t breaking. She’s watching, counting, coding messages into sketches—collecting pieces of Caldwell’s empire like ammunition.
Cassian hasn’t slept since she vanished. His mask is gone, replaced by a man running on blood and obsession. He interrogates anyone who breathes her name and activates a black-ops protocol he swore he’d never use.
No rules. No mercy. Only Rory.
As Caldwell’s private clubs and backroom deals close in, Rory must choose: expose Cassian and risk everyone inside his Sanctuary… or surrender to the man coming for her like a storm—ready to burn the world down to keep her alive.
Book 2 of the Sanctuary duet.
