The Cult by Penelope Sky

Fender and Magnus have moved on from the camp. But someone else has moved in.
The Cult.
I see his wicked smile in the theatre. I see it in the apartment across from mine.
I see it everywhere.
Before I can run, I’m taken.
And when I wake up…I’m in the middle of nowhere.
The man who’s taken me claims to be a demon.
And claims I’m his angel.
What happens when he finds out I don’t have wings?
I’m not the only prisoner in this forest. There’s a little girl too. Her name is Claire. She’s beautiful, happy, wonderful. It’s my responsibility to protect her–and I will give my life to accomplish that.
She says her father will save us both.
She says he’s powerful, formidable, that he’ll burn this entire forest to get to her.
I hope she’s right.

*** Claire is unharmed throughout this story. There is no violence against children of any kind. ***
