About this book

Brexley finds herself plunged into the depths of Věrhăza, a brutal prison where General Markos orchestrates suffering on an unimaginable scale. Haunted by the shadows of her past, Brexley is forced into a series of harrowing experiments that threaten to dismantle her identity and her humanity. As her suppressed abilities finally manifest, she faces a terrifying realization: the power required to save those she loves may be the very thing that consumes her soul.

Her turbulent connection with Warwick remains the center of her world, but their bond is tested under the weight of relentless torture and Istvan’s calculated betrayals. With Istvan pulling the strings from the shadows and her own inner darkness rising to meet the violence surrounding her, Brexley stands at a dangerous precipice. She must navigate a landscape of treachery where the lines between hero and villain blur into insignificance.

As the cost of survival climbs and her guilt grows heavier, Brexley is forced to confront the ultimate question: how much pain can one person endure before they finally break? In a world built on agony, she must decide if she will be the savior her people need, or the monster she fears becoming.

READ THIS SERIES NOW!!!!!

"The SECOND that I got this book in I dropped everything to read it. I have so many thoughts, first of all, how dare you? We pick up exactly where we left off in Bad Lands, and can I just say, I love when authors do this, let's get right into it. By chapter 2, CHAPTER 2!!! I was crying. The pains that these books put me through, it hurts so good. I have said it once, and I will say it again, there are NO boring parts in these books, this whole series is just *chefs kiss*. Warkwick, Brexley, Killian, Ash, Scorpion, Caden, the whole gang, have been through so much, please Miss Stacey, can they have a break!! I am crying for them. Also, I am starting an Istvan hate club, would anyone like to join?? I cannot wait for this man to die. And can I just say ***minor spoiler*** I did not trust Tracker for ONE second. I knew, KNEW, that he was a spy. Why was he asking so many questions, hmmmm?? C'mon Brexley!!! On another note, I think I speak for everyone when I say, the opium den 👀👀 thank you, my queen. I am so ready for book 6, and I know it's getting pushed back. I'm okay with that IF YOU DON'T HURT ME!!! My heart cannot take it. But also Warwick POV? Yes plz. I'm very excited to see what happens, I am a-okay with a longer book... you could write 800 pages and I would devour it. This series is so good, it has me in a chokehold. 🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏻‍♀️ Me running to go tell everyone I know to read these books. ["

Just a bit too depressing

"I absolutely love this series but this installment was filled with loss after loss to the point that it was a downer to read. I wanted them to have just a tiny win but nope. And there was less Opie and Bitzy with all the bouncing around from place to place; they're the usual levity that's needed in this story. I'm hoping the last book means the villains finally get what they deserve. Brexley is amazing but homegirl needs therapy. Warwick remains undefeated as a book boyfriend. ["

Just ok

"2.5 stars may be more accurate. I found this series enjoyable up until this book. It was rather hard to push through and finish. I felt the scenes were too repetitive. Instead of spending what little time was available to develop thoughtful, actionable ways to outsmart their enemy, the main characters kept behaving idiotically and spending their little time together having coitus, oblivious to the moves their enemy was making. Shockingly they kept ending up in horrible situations over and over and over and over. Somewhere around page 300, I started hoping Istvan would win out. I was also annoyed by Tracker. Maybe it was supposed to be blatantly obvious from his 1st appearance in the series that he would betray the group, but I was bored waiting for it happen. Other than book 5 the series has been enjoyable, hoping the enjoyment returns in book 6. ["
