The Sun and its Shade by Piper CJ

Page Count: 612 Rating: 5/5 REVIEW I loved this! The characters, the world-building, the slowly complicating yet simplifying plot that tightens and unravels is amazing.

Beauty in damnation

There is beauty in damnation. The purity of corruption and the childishness of sin. Looking for the next problem to pull ourselves closer to the darkness. Closer to home.
