Somnium (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798994780411)

33-year-old Arcadia Kismet is completely fine on her own. She has to be. A life without roots leaves little room for anything else. Still, despite her acceptance of a life on the outskirts, she can't deny the brutal ache of wanting to be fully seen. So when a new friend extends an unexpected invitation to Somnium, there is no way she can say no.

Intoxicating. Hypnotic. Life-changing.

Whispered rumors are all that is known about the rite, its details kept guarded as tightly as the identities of the Priests who conduct it.

In a single evening, Cadi is drawn in by electrifying promises of purpose and dreams made real, stepping deeper into the world of The Order than she ever intended.

Until she finds her path entwined with Elias Masterson, a bartender whose ties to the sect run deeper than she ever imagined, forcing her to question everything she thought she knew.

Elias is a man haunted by his past, determined to dismantle the faith that nearly broke him. But his plans fracture when a brutal act drives Cadi further into his orbit. He knows he can't walk away, but loving her could cost her everything.

And when the truth about The Order's god begins to unravel, Cadi and Elias are plunged into a fight far more personal than either anticipated. The stronger their bond, the greater their threat.

And the god they defy does not share power.
