Sinner

LUCY

I always considered myself an introvert. I had a small apartment in Manhattan and a huge shelf filled with romance novels.

In the evenings, I was accompanied by Edgar, a potted plant. And the couples in the subway annoyed me: against their backdrop, I felt my loneliness more acutely.

That day I discovered a stranger on my doorstep. In his coal-black eyes, eternity was reflected.

He resembled a sculpture from the Renaissance era. Two black wings grew from his snow-white back.

My heart told me to help. Although I wanted to run. To run away from Cassiel, the living embodiment of my dark demons. And from that part of me I was unfamiliar with.

Who knows, maybe he is my most terrible curse.

CASSIEL

A long time ago I had a vibrant life. I commanded entire armies.

Now my weapon is human desires and passions.

I am pure evil, a spawn of hell. And my time is running out.

The thirst for redemption is unbearable. It may already be too late: I have many sins. But however incredible it may seem, I strive for better.

It is terrifying to give my eternal soul into the hands of an ordinary girl. But I know Lucy can help me.

She is woven from light and will show me the path to salvation from the bottomless darkness.

I am sure Lucy will remember me and what bound us...

For the first time from the phenomenon author of sentimental prose Emma Scott – a mystical, supernatural love story between a demon and a mortal girl across a series of lives. You haven’t read anything like this from the writer yet, and you will surely love it!

This story contains elements of fantasy, but as in other books by Emma, deep feelings, burning passion, and questions of personal paths are at the forefront. Even if the supernatural is not quite your theme, still read this novel, as the questions raised by the writer will resonate with anyone who has ever loved and lost, and had the courage to embrace in their heart that one love given from above.

Lucy is a quiet, shy dreamer. Cassiel is a lonely, sarcastic demon. He comes into her world to find salvation. And she finds herself in him. In this novel: paranormal (demons, angels), otherworldly love, a chance for redemption, a longing for eternity.

An incredible story that will appeal to everyone who is tired of cloying sentimental prose. This novel is an ode to love, introversion, a heart burdened with grief inside. It’s about overcoming personal demons, fighting for each other, and for the world we live in.

Emma deeply touches on the theme of the soul's life in the chains of eternity, provides a glossary, and gives her definitions of the concepts of the otherworldly. There are also many references to Sumerian mythology in the book, which adds color to its uniqueness.
