Badlands: Spent Shells, #2

By Bijou Hunter

I am a weapon. She is the slave of a cult.

 

The moment I see her, I can never walk away. Even if saving her means spilling blood.

 

The Children of the Black Sun will chase us through the forsaken badlands to retrieve what I've stolen from them.

The cult believes God is on their side, and I'm the devil sent to destroy them. Well, they're half right.

 

Trigger warning: details of past sexual, physical, and mental abuse. This book is intended for readers +18 and includes graphic sexual acts, violence, and profanity.
