Verja

“Not all men were bad. Just some were better choices than others.”

Broken and wounded after narrowly escaping William, the Master of Purlieu, Evelyn is living in fear that he might find her and recapture her.

Willing to face her fears with her dad by her side, she ventures back into the Hidden Grove, only to be thrust into another world where its occupants are set on capturing them. The world is Verja, an overcrowded underground citadel on the brink of revolution.

In the chaos, her father sacrifices himself so that Evelyn can escape but she refuses to leave Verja without him. In order to get them both out alive, she needs to navigate a culture that believes human sacrifice is the answer to maintaining order, and break her father out of an impossible prison.

If Evelyn gets captured in the process, there will be no one to save either of them.

Does she have what it takes to overcome her fears without the help of her father? Will she ever find healing from her relationship with her William? And will Evelyn survive to tell the tale?

With secret underground passages, a magical powder, and a familiar old face, Verja will have you reeling for what happens next.
