Alex Lancaster is a gorgeous monster. A vicious legend. A story his fraternity tells to scare away the weak. And I’m his obsession… While everyone thinks Alex has been locked behind the walls of Montgomery Psychiatric Ward for the past two years, he’s been secretly watching from the shadows. Waiting. Manipulating my life and sabotaging my relationships. I try to tell myself it’s because he understands me. The same fraternity that nearly killed him is responsible for my best friend’s death. Our trauma goes hand in hand. Unfortunately, so do our lies. Alex is no prince. No savior. No god. And the truth is, I’m no better. There’s only one way to rise from the ashes, and that’s to burn. We might as well both go down together. This series contains overlapping timelines and plot points. It is highly recommended to read Saint and Eternal first. Author's Note: Atone is an extremely dark romance with a morally irredeemable MMC, heavy subject matter, mature content, and explicit scenes. Content/TWs (which contain spoilers) can be found on author's website. 18+ only.
Alex Lancaster, a figure of dark legend and obsession, emerges from a two-year psychiatric confinement to exact his revenge on the fraternity that wronged him and the protagonist. While the world believes him institutionalized, Alex has been orchestrating events from the shadows, manipulating the protagonist's life and relationships. Their shared trauma, stemming from the fraternity's actions—which led to the protagonist's best friend's death and Alex's own near-fatal experience—binds them together through a web of lies. The protagonist recognizes Alex is no hero, but acknowledges her own moral compromises, understanding that destruction is the only path to rebirth, even if it means mutual ruin.
