Welcome to Blackwood Institute. Perched on a storm-lashed cliff, it is a fortress designed to cure the incurable. But for Gabriel Stone and Rain Verlac, it is a battlefield.
Gabriel believes he is the Architect-a deep-cover operative sent to expose Project Blank Slate, a government conspiracy erasing people's memories. He sees codes in the static and enemies in the shadows.
Rain believes she is his Asset-a dedicated nurse protecting him from the corrupt administration. In reality, she is a narcissist who poisoned her husband with arsenic simply because he bored her.
It is not a romance. It is a folie à deux-a shared madness.
When Dr. Vance, the institute's director, initiates a brutal new therapy to shatter their delusion, Gabriel and Rain are forced to make a terrifying choice. They must decide between the cold, gray truth of their crimes or the vibrant, bloody lie of their love.
As the walls of their reality begin to crumble, one question remains: Would you rather be a sane monster, or a hero in a world that doesn't exist?
Bulleted Highlights (The Selling Points):Folie à Deux: A dark, twisted psychological bond.
Asylum Settings: Claustrophobic, atmospheric, and terrifying.
Unreliable Narrators: You won't know what is real until the final page.
Dark Romance: I'd rather be a monster with you than sane without you.
The unputdownable conclusion to The Unholy Vows series. If you loved Shutter Island and The Silent Patient, you will be held captive by For Worse.
