One rebel refuses to give in. As brave as she is beautiful, sheโs far too noble to break under his coarse touch. His angel.
Seward wishes he didnโt have to hurt her.
Today heโll follow his orders and kill her, because heโs a coward. But before he does, heโll grant her last request.
And if his angel isnโt such an angel after allโฆ if heโs not the only with blood on his handsโฆ
No. He has to believe in her, because sheโs all he has. Heโll never lose his faith.
Even if it kills him.

Zoe Cannon may or may not be a supervillain out to conquer the world through writing. When not writing, they can be found perfecting their schemes for world domination, plotting against their archenemies, and staying up too late reading a book. Their secret lair is rumored to be located somewhere in southern New Hampshire. They also write as their mild-mannered alter ego, Z.J. Cannon.
