Chaos wrapped in bruises and scars. My ruin, my religion. The only one I’ll ever choose. Inside Ashcroft, I worshiped her with violence. Outside, I’ll prove my devotion with fire. My brothers think they own me. The Ashcroft’s think they control me. They’re all about to learn— she and I don’t just survive. We destroy. Tropes include but are not limited to: ✦ Obsessive devotion ✦ Partners in destruction ✦ Asylum riots & revenge ✦ Slow burn into bloody love ✦ Dual POV, first person ✦ Dark but triumphant ending This is Book Two of Ashcroft Asylum , a continuation of the Shattered Souls series
