So begins the spellbinding short story collection set in the world of the award-winning Seven Sins series, from the New York Times bestselling author of Sword of the Seven Sins.

In the oppressive Commonwealth, where defying the High Priests and the vicious Bellatorum warriors means execution or exile, people live and die by the Seven Deadly Sins. In the world beyond the Commonwealth’s borders, an ancient species fights for the right to survive. In one society, love is punishable by death. In the other, royal blood dictates marriage. In both, no laws can govern the heart. Enter the thrilling world of the Seven Sins in these interconnected short stories.

Two childhood friends, one shape-shifting royalty and one a baker’s son, secretly fall in love. When his family suffers a horrible tragedy, he convinces her to use her influence to go to war. But is he acting out of love, or revenge?

When a teen in the Commonwealth spies his best friend, Ari, kissing a girl, he knows the punishment for Ari is death. In that moment, he realizes something else: he is in love with Ari. When a band of bellators passes nearby, Gentian risks his own life to keep Ari’s secret. But can he protect the lovers from certain death?
