Even miracles have teeth.
Elevated from a quiet servant to a holy symbol, twenty-two-year-old Lilah is now paraded through the opulent, heavily fortified halls of the Grand Tabernacle. High Patriarch Gideon believes his Blessed Miracle is the ultimate proof of his total control over the patriarchal dystopia of Ophir.
He thinks she is trapped in his gilded cage. He doesn't realize she has him cornered.
The true threat hiding behind the altar is High Apothecary Jacob, the cold, clinical architect of the Draft of Serenity. As Jacob prepares to unleash a new, deadlier strain of the toxic chemical lobotomy, Lilah's mission shifts from quiet survival to calculated feminist revenge. To save the women of the outer quarters, she must sever the head of the snake and destroy the poison at its source.
But assassinating the High Apothecary means unleashing the midnight-black wolf inside the heavily guarded Citadel. It is a locked-room nightmare, and when the heavy iron doors seal shut for the night, the brutal creature feature begins. The men of Ophir built massive walls to keep the wilderness out, never realizing they were locking themselves inside with an apex predator.
The Transgression is a relentless locked-room dystopian horror novel and the blood-soaked second installment of The Chastisements. A claustrophobic psychological thriller where the hunted becomes the ultimate nightmare.Also from
