In a world ruled by sin, love is a dangerous game.
Tech prodigy Eva is resigned to life in the Commonwealth, as long as she's behind a computer screen. To her horror, the Priests Choose her to train as a bellator, one of the Commonwealth's enforcers. She's eerily good at it. If only she weren't taunted at every turn by her deadly mentor, Ari, to whom she's bound by a blood oath. She's falling for the magnetic Ari, but in the Commonwealth, love is punishable by death.
Thrown into the life of a bellator, Eva is no longer a sheep of the Commonwealth, but a wolf, learning to patrol and kill. Her inexplicable strengths make her a top bellator, drawing unwanted attention. Meanwhile, as she and Ari train together, their antagonism becomes grudging respect. But the more time they spend together, the harder it is for Eva to resist the lure of his green eyes, his grace and power with a sword, and the charm beneath the sarcastic front he shows the world. Things take a treacherous turn when a heated night in the woods reveals a dangerous secret—Ari has loved Eva for years.
Their feelings put their lives at risk, but their love is too powerful to deny. Meanwhile, Eva's mysterious physical gifts heighten to a terrifying degree. Soon, Ari uncovers a secret that could take down the Commonwealth itself. Will Eva set aside her fears and fight for freedom with the boy she loves, knowing it might destroy them both?

SIEGE OF THE SEVEN SINS
Book Two in the SEVEN SINS series
In a world on the brink of war, love is the deadliest battle.
Rogue assassins Eva Marteinn and Ari Westergaard have escaped the restrictive world of the Commonwealth, but the battle is far from over. Eva is the formidable weapon the Commonwealth wants, and they’ll stop at nothing to get her back. Plus Eva is keeping a devastating secret from Ari: the victory against the Commonwealth the two have been fighting for is doomed to break their hearts.
For years, Ari has seen Eva as his temptation and his secret, his virtue and his sin. Now that they’re finally free, he wants what he’s been craving—to start a new life with her. Only one thing stands in his way: her ability to control the new powers that have grown even stronger as she nears the rebel stronghold.
When Ari and Eva join the rebellion, Ari must find a place in a new society that sees him as nothing more than a Commonwealth murderer. Meanwhile Eva faces an impossible decision. She can be the face of a revolution and cast aside the boy she loves, or she can abandon everything she’s fought for to stand by his side. Can Eva find a way to fight for freedom without sacrificing her heart?

In a society where kindness is punishable by death, can a boy find a way to be a hero?
Experience the dramatic opening scene of Sword of the Seven Sins from Ari's point of view.
When Ari Westergaard first sees Eva Marteinn, she's forced to sentence a man to death. As the blood pools at her feet, he can sense she is the bravest person he has ever seen. Although he is drawn to her, he must keep his feelings a secret, for in the Commonwealth, any kind of love, even friendship, is a killing offense.
Meanwhile, Ari's childhood friend Gentian can't help protecting the weak and feeding the hungry, even when doing so violates the laws of the Commonwealth. When Ari takes the fall for one of Gentian's crimes, he commits a double offense—lying, but also friendship itself.
Ari learns fast that growing up in the Commonwealth requires hiding your feelings and doing what you're told. The punishment he receives to protect Gentian and the power he sees in Eva's gaze only clarifies his path. He's meant to be a warrior.
A bellator.
