They were never meant to survive the town that raised them-only to outlive it. In the decaying, flood-washed town of Saint Lillian, Louisiana, the holy and the damned live side by side-and sometimes, in the same skin. Eden Rae Harrow was the preacher's daughter, born to obey, to repent, to kneel. Rowan Thorne was the pastor's prodigal son, returned like a ghost from exile, trailing sin like smoke. When a body is found on church grounds, Eden and Rowan are drawn together by shared suspicion and buried secrets. As the town turns on them, the pair flee into the wilderness, hunted by the same faith that once claimed them. But Saint Lillian doesn't let its sinners go quietly. Something darker is unraveling-something rooted in old sermons, deeper graves, and a boy named Micah, who loved them both too much to let go. Caught between loyalty and survival, desire and guilt, Eden and Rowan must face what they left behind-and what still waits for them in the dark. Because in Saint Lillian, love can damn you just as quickly as it saves. A gothic tale of twisted devotion, blood-washed sins, and the kind of love that burns down chapels-God Rest the Wicked is a story of ruin, resurrection, and reckoning.
