A Vault of Sins
by Sarah HarianIn her stunning New Adult debut, The Wicked We Have Done, Sarah Harian introduced readers to the Compass Room: a twisted experimental jail where the guilty and the innocent suffer alike. But breaking out was only the beginning... Even though she's escaped, twenty-two-year-old Evalyn Ibarra is anything but free. She's desperate to return to a life that no longer exists, but prying reporters continually draw her back into nightmarish memories, using the tabloids to vilify her. Bad press is the last thing she needs during the trial of the year: the case that she and her fellow survivors staked against the Compass Room engineers. A case that could terminate the use of the inhumane system forever... But in her dreams, she is still locked in that terrifying jail. When she wakes, someone is trying to communicate with her in secret, through strange and intricate clues. As Evalyn follows their signs, she uncovers a conspiracy that goes so much deeper than her own ordeal. A dangerous intrigue that only she can bring to light. One that will force her to work with the one person she doesn't want to see. The person who owns her heart... Praise for The Wicked We Have Done "Holy jawdropping creepy bots! Hot, funny, and terrifying ... if The Running Man and The Hunger Games had a baby on steroids: this would be it. You will be glued to each amazingly horrifying page from beginning to end." -- Molly McAdams, New York Times bestselling author "THIS IS INCREDIBLE!!! I couldn't put it down! Suspenseful, romantic and thought provoking, The Wicked We Have Done had me rooting for criminals while pondering morality and questioning humanity. I can't wait for the sequel." -- Jamie Blair, author of Leap of Faith "A heart-pounding thrill ride! The Wicked We Have Done will make you gasp, smile and cry - an emotional rollercoaster in book form. I absolutely loved it!" -- Susanne Winnacker, author of Imposter Sarah Harian received her M.F.A. from Fresno State University. She currently lives in the Sierra Nevadas with her husband and their dog and swears she'll never live anywhere other than the forested mountains--they're too inspiring. This is the second in the Chaos Theory series, following The Wicked We Have Done.

Armed with a magical wand, Levet confronts Damon, a pureblood Were intent on seizing the throne. Challenging the King will put the pups at risk--and drive away Damon's potential mate, Gia.
