Chained to floors and locked in basements, Ophelia McCammon has spent her life praying to far more than the Lord Jesus in search of forgiveness.

After her step-sister-Cedar Lewis-vanishes in the middle of the night, Phe is abandoned with parents who will do everything it takes to make sure their only remaining daughter proves pure and devoted to The Temple.

On her knees, she begs for mercy. With an open mouth she receives the Priests' blessings and recites her prayers.

But her curious mind gets her deeply into trouble, and the Demons in her own personal Hell have become her Saviors.

The divide between dark and light is only the beginning.

Now, that she's committed an unforgivable sin against her parents and has fallen into the care of her long-lost Cedar-she begins unravelling between the segments of her monster and her madness.

Forbidden desires build home in her flesh and blood, tempting her with sins far worse than she could have ever expected.

Which side of her will win?

The Monster.

Or The Devoted.
