Here Prays a Sinner (Here Lies #4)

I've done things I'm not proud of.
My own parents despise me most days as a result.
They've set me up for success, but all I've ever dreamed of is escaping the world they offered. Being a sinner seemed easier than accepting the trials forced upon me, caging me in and drowning me out.

Their success mattered more than my happiness, and isolation became their answer as salvation slipped further and further away. There was no saving the smeared reputation I'd garnered throughout Arcadia. I'd earned my title with my sins, and until her, it didn't bother me. She was The one thing that seemed to make my life brighter.

Colty. My peaceful oblivion. The one worth breaking every rule for. She brought the kind of subservience out of me that the Vestige never could.

For her, I'd bloody my hands.
For her, my skin would be covered in more than ink.
For her, I'd drop to my knees and pray.
Because of her, I'd find my salvation... however she sees fit.

Once a sinner falls, only a man is left.
Once a liar tells the truth, all that's left is liberation.
Once a sad boy breaks, only she can set him free.
