Vile Saint's Forced Redemption

The saint who once ruled Neon City is on her knees, stripped of her divinity, with a blade at her throat. Kael—the righteous monster hunter she despises—tightens the forbidden pact and whispers, “I don’t save monsters. I leash them.” Now the fallen tyrant is bound to serve the one man immune to her manipulation, trapped with him in a cramped apartment while assassins hunt her through the city’s underworld. She plans to use Kael’s rigid sense of justice to reclaim her power, but every merciless lesson—and every dangerous touch—tears deeper into the defenses hiding her broken heart. When the new Archbishop sends killers for her eyes, Sera discovers the holy order betrayed them both. To reclaim her throne, must she betray the only man who can save her—or trust him and expose the truth that could burn the entire city to ash?
