I created a monster.

And she draws me in like a moth to a flame.

But she’s not my only affliction. There’s a war on the rise and I can’t focus on much else when my wife teeters the edge of self-destruction.

She quite literally lit my world on fire and I am trapped by the torment I’ve caused her.

I have never been afraid of the dark. But she is my gravest shadow and if I can’t help her back to step back into the light before time is up, we both might just drown in the darkness.

Of all the things that unravel in the kingdom: treason, betrayal, revenge, curses, and war . . .

My only hope is that I can survive my sweetest sin.
