Worship My Moans
(2027)(The first book in the Skyland Sins: A Nova Sanguine series)
A novel by Laikyn Meng
From the author of Verona Vices Series and other visceral tales of ruin comes a new saga of Skyland hedonism and Newark nihilism.
"I’ve always kept my moans secret, until he started to worship them."
My ex-husband is rotting in a prison cell, but he didn’t leave me free. He left me buried in the wreckage of his debts, a hollowed-out life with nothing left to burn. I was born in the Ember-filled gutters.
Cameo Rizaletti is the youngest heir to the Skyland empire, living in a glass-walled world far above my reality where the air is too thin to breathe. He didn’t come to me with a rescue mission. He came with a transaction. He doesn’t want my love; he wants to own my hunger. It’s an offer of flesh, status, and absolute indulgence, a deal that makes the price of my soul look cheap.
If there was another way to claw my way out of this grave, I would take it, but my pride is a luxury I can no longer afford. I’m stepping into the high-rise, trading my autonomy for a view from the top, and hoping the fire in his eyes is enough to finally incinerate the past. If I take his hand, I leave my past to burn. If I refuse, I stay buried with the corpses.
