Description:
|
"I've done it, you bastard." I meant to shout but my voice was diminished by the enormity of what I had done. "I've won the wager."
He sneered at my naked, storm-whipped flesh, the empty triumph in my eyes. "You haven't won yet. We'll have to wait and see what happens."
I started to rise up, even to strike him, but he was on the floor faster than he should have been able to move, pinning me down, his hands around my throat. "Don't you dare raise your hand to me or I will kill you." he promised.
"But I broke him," I told him. "I took God from him."
Dante's smile was carnal and merciless.
"Body and soul." he said. "It has to be body and soul."
When Isabel Cordova inherits a banana plantation in a wild district of British Honduras, she also inherits a legacy of theft, lies, and terror.
In a world where every man is a commodity and retribution for their actions is doled out by lesser gods, Isabel is drawn into a twisted game of cat and mouse-a deadly wager in which she succumbs to her darker impulses.
