Summary

A celebratory dinner and engagement ceremony is to be held at a large home in Our Village, in southeast Turkey. Halil, the cousin of the future bride, Leyla, is sent to a nearby village to buy the traditional cologne. Leyla's sister, Maral, is told to go door-to-door to remind everyone to attend. Throughout the long day, the other women of the household clean, cook and toil. Meanwhile, a dust storm descends out of nowhere and a menacing mist settles over the village streets.
This harrowing tale, which spans sixteen hours and is told through the eyes of a mysterious narrator, delves into the bad blood between two timeless villages where most of the men are heavily armed village guards, and there is money to be made in agriculture, oil, fish farms and more. Geographical complexities, tangled relations, hazy memories and unreliable witnesses make for a story in which perhaps is nothing as it seems…

If you’d have told me six months ago that this would be my life, I’d have laughed in your face. 
Money. Marriage. Murder. 
Three things I never thought I'd deal with, let alone all at once, but now those three words embody my entire world. 
There’s nowhere to run, not with the eyes of the country on us now. 
With everyone watching, we can’t afford a misstep, especially since bodies keep dropping around campus. 
My only hope is that we can find whoever is behind the killings. 
Before they find me. 
The Saints of Serenity Falls is a dark college why-choose romance series with some aspects of bullying. There is angst for days, some serious fall-loving vibes, and coffee for days. Hold onto your hats, cause this is about to be a wild ride.
