So she doesn’t argue when she’s given the tedious task of flying devout Sister Irena to a remote fringe planet, where a tiny religious colony worships a strange deity called Anguish. Until now.

He invades her mind with his hunger, sparking a ravenous obsession that will be near-impossible to escape.
