Part of Series
In the oppressive world of the Commonwealth, citizens live and die by the rules of the Seven Deadly Sins: pride, greed, wrath, envy, lust, gluttony, and sloth. Attachment is forbidden, and romantic relationships are punishable by death…but all the rules in the world can’t stop people from falling in love. It's terrifying to fight back against the High Priests who make the Commonwealth’s rules and the vicious Bellatorum warriors who enforce them. But for love, people will take chances they’d never dare to otherwise. For love, people will do terrible—and wonderful—things. In the pages of this spellbinding collection set in the world of Emily Colin's Seven Sins series, dive deeper into the stories of your favorite characters and meet new ones; discover dark secrets; and witness the courage of rebels who risk their lives—again and again—for love.
