The end is near, I can feel it in my bones. Secrets are practically seeping from the seams of this fabricated society. Deceiving you with the pretty allure of all that is promised.

Forever servants to the tyrants that have ruled Salem for over three hundred years? What if the history books got it wrong, though? What if the past isn’t what it seems? What if it can help us rewrite the future? The casket is closing, we’re running out of time.

Charley Bates was an outsider. Always the third wheel to the Artful Dodger and Oliver Twists double-act in Fagins gang. Then he became the redeemed thief who managed to turn himself into the merriest young grazier in the whole of Northamptonshire.

And then he got one: a chance to bring justice to bear on a villain from his past, Monks, the half-brother of Oliver Twist.

My heart is broken, my pride shattered to pieces on that altar. He walked away so easily, too easily, and I know none of us will ever forgive him.

Add in my three boyfriends, my evil father and my new sadistic father in law and we are all in for an adventure I’m not sure I want to survive. One thing is for sure, though, making our way out of this, dead or alive is going to be one hell of a Descent.

I wasn’t sure what to expect when arriving in Salem. Forced to marry a man I’ve never met, attend a private university I’d never heard of, and the whispers of a rumored secret society filling the halls. This life would be near unbearable with my insufferable fiancé if it wasn’t for his uncle, his best friend, and his enemy. When none of them are willing to let me go, it sends us down a path I’m not sure any of us will survive. The life I was promised is distorted behind smoke and mirrors. The truth cloaked by Deceit.

I left my hometown behind. I joined the military, disappeared into black ops, and became a weapon for my country. I have no regrets. Except one with pretty hazel eyes. Now I’m retired, living a quiet life hiding in plain sight in Las Vegas. I still think of her. The prettiest girl I ever knew. My best friend’s little sister. But I swore to leave her alone to live a normal life. That I wouldn’t drag her into the darkness. Then I find out her life isn’t golden. She’s in danger and I have the right set of skills to save her.

I thought I needed a hero. Someone to break me out, to grant me the freedom I dreamed of. Cade Warren is no hero. But maybe it takes a villain to save a girl like me.
