RAINA
I thought losing Ace would break me. Maybe it did. Because now I'm lying to myself every day, pretending I can love someone else—pretending I can belong to someone who isn't him. Haze offers safety. Control. A path forward. But it's Ace who owns my chaos. It's his name I moan when I'm with someone else. It's his ghost that haunts every touch. I should let him go. But the thing about devils? They don't leave you… they claim you.
ACE
She ran. Straight into another man's arms. But I don't blame her—not when I was the one who pushed her away. I thought she'd be safer without me, thought I was doing the right thing. But seeing another man's hands on what's mine? It's hell. And if she thinks I'll let her belong to someone else, she's forgotten exactly who I am. I don't play fair. I don't let go. If I have to burn down her whole world to get her back, I'll light the match myself.
This is the second book of The Reaper's Oath Series — reading order: Blood & Vows, Chains & Chaos, Scars & Silence, and Ashes & Oaths.
