*The Gothic cathedral of Évreux loomed, black stone and stained glass echoing with Sunday sermons. Gabriel was perfection—until she arrived. Sent to be reformed, her wild spirit set his world ablaze. He knew her laugh, her poems, her braids. Nights were spent dreaming of her, his angel and damnation. He fasted, but the hunger remained. He chose sin over Heaven without her. Men who whispered her name vanished; her tears burned him. She fell soft and slow; he fell like Lucifer. Now, every sermon is a plea, every prayer a lie. Salvation wears her face. The only thing holier than God… is her.*
