by D. E. ChapmanThe Sinless finally became The Sinner. Lara has always prided herself on being a Sinless, yet all it takes is homicide and one false accusation to ruin her. Proof of her innocence is in the color of her magic but whoever is behind these killings temporarily alters it from the purest blue to the darkest red. The color in tandem with a single strand of DNA found on one of the bodies is enough to sentence her to prison. But Lara isn't sent to just any prison, she's sent to Stelliceda One. S.O.P is home to the worst criminals the enforcement agency has ever caught and now that includes her. She's tossed in with the cruelest of all the damned and resigns herself to her nightmarish new reality. All she needs to do is survive and prove her innocence. Little does Lara know that it's impossible to remain Sinless amongst The Fallen. Corruption eats away at her until she's just as horrid as she was accused of being. Perhaps being the good guy was always overrated. Perhaps revenge is just the thing she needs once she’s finally free.
