A devout iconographer must paint an exiled saint in this sumptuous gothic romantasy full of slow-burn tension and windswept moors, for fans of DIVINE RIVALS and A STUDY IN DROWNING
'Nothing less than blasphemy brought you to me,' Jude told her. Maeve trembled. He was an open flame. Any closer, and shed burn.
Jude is a saint with dangerous magic exiled by the Abbey to live out his days alone in a decaying estate on the moors until gifted iconographer Maeve is sent to paint his icon. Suspecting shes a spy for her beloved Abbey, Jude makes it his mission to get rid of Maeve as soon as possible. That is, until he discovers that Maeve holds the same tainted magic as he does, and she may be the key to destroying the Abbeys power
But this institution has eyes everywhere, and the only thing the Abbey loves more than a saint is a martyr.
Kalie Reid grew up just outside Portland, Oregon, before moving across the world to Northern Ireland, where she's lived for the past decade. Alongside her husband and cat, she currently lives in Belfast where she is forever dreaming of her debut romantic fantasy novel about an exiled saint and the devout iconographer sent to paint him.
