Sinning never felt so good…
A fortuitous encounter.
A meeting that should never have happened.
Many years ago, two children from completely different worlds forged a connection, a fateful connection, an unbreakable bond that would change their lives forever…
Salome knows only one way to live—under Prophet David’s rule. In the commune she calls home, Salome knows nothing of life beyond her strict faith, nor of life beyond the Fence—the fence that cages her, keeps her trapped in an endless cycle of misery. A life she believes she is destined to always lead, until a horrific event sets her free.
Fleeing the absolute safety of all she has ever known, Salome is thrust into the world outside, a frightening world full of uncertainty and sin; into the protective arms of a person she believed she would never see again.
River ‘Styx’ Nash knows one thing for certain in life—he was born and bred to wear a cut. Raised in a turbulent world of sex, Harleys, and drugs, Styx, unexpectedly has the heavy burden of the Hades Hangmen gavel thrust upon him, and all at the ripe old age of twenty-six—much to his rivals’ delight.
Haunted by a crushing speech impediment, Styx quickly learns to deal with his haters. Powerful fists, an iron jaw and the skillful use of his treasured German blade has earned him a fearsome reputation as a man not to be messed with in the shadowy world of outlaw MC’s. A reputation that successfully keeps most people far, far away.
Styx has one rule in life—never let anyone get too close. It’s a plan that he has stuck to for years, that is, until a young woman is found injured on his lot… a woman who looks uncannily familiar, a woman who clearly does not belong in his world, yet a woman he feels reluctant to let go…

Read on for my review
Although I rated this novel a low 3* I really enjoyed the difference in it.
I'll start with the reason as to why I rated it so low. It's because when I look at men of honor, men of code, men of free will, i see men, even bikers to do right by people. To live by a code they must have some respect, but I found in this book the biker club lacked it considerably. Styx even had men he knew would rape.... who would want a man like that at their side? obviously Styx. That's what made my rating so low because some of the characters were deep down good men.
Now the cult side to the story was amazing. Tillie has done her homework because it was incredible to learn about. I had not long finished another cult biker novel before this one but found it lacking information about it. Tillie keeps us informed on what is going on with it and as to why its there.
The story had me gripping at my kindle, especially towards the end as i didnt know what the hell was going to happen. Another thing I loved about the novel is that it was so unpredictable.
The betrayal, the fights, the action, everything had you wanted to keep reading. Author did an amazing job with this story.
