  He was sent to save her soul.
  Instead, she's unraveling his.

  Ophelia Vespertine hasn't spoken in years after killing her family, until Father Kallum Graves enters her room in Saint Grayhill Psychiatric Sanctuary. What he thought was a simple case of possession quickly becomes something far more dangerous. Far more intimate.

  And they're willing to tear him apart to have him.
