The Condemned Thirteenth Bell

The thirteenth bell rings—and the condemned Mara Vey dies in Cael Rook’s arms as the entire city erupts into slaughter. Then she wakes thirteen minutes earlier, chained to the rebel commander she was sentenced to kill. Cael remembers every loop, every wound, and every way Mara dies; she remembers none of them. Forced to cross the sealed holy city together, Mara must trust the enemy who watches her like a prisoner—and touches her like he’s terrified to lose her. But beneath the bell tower, her missing brother’s voice begs from behind one of thirteen doors, while the smiling inquisitor offers Cael a way to end the cycle: kill Mara. When the next bell rings, will Mara save the city—or let Cael murder her before she forgets him forever?
