A GOTHIC FANTASY OF ANGELS, DEMONS, AND OBSESSION:

Enter the FORBIDDEN SANCTUARY

Forbidden Sanctuary is the first book in The Fallen Grace Chronicles, a dark fantasy trilogy about the corruption of Divine Law, systemic rot, and a forbidden bond that challenges ancient order. Set in shadow-soaked Savannah, it follows Seraphine Vex, a former angel hiding in plain sight and starving from the infernal hunger slowly killing her. When a mission from her past walks back into her life, Sera’s careful life fractures.

Kael: the angel whose vow once led to her public execution, and the only person who has ever truly seen what she is.

Pulled between an obsessive bond, a ruthless celestial court, and a mortal city thick with vice, Sera and Kael must decide what they’re willing to burn—heaven, earth, or each other—to keep a single, forbidden spark alive.
