  “God has delivered you unto me.” 
  Hidden away high amongst the arid cliffs of the western mountains sits the settlement of Vero. Under the watchful gaze of The Prophet, this village has long remained isolated. Said to be chosen by god himself, the divine leader wields absolute and unyielding control over the minds of his subjects. 
  As son of The Prophet, Finn Vale is de facto royalty within the compound. Independent and uninterested in his father’s teachings, the young man’s curiosity is piqued when a mysterious and handsome traveler arrives at the community. 
  Finn can’t help but stare at the charming foreigner’s thick biceps and powerful, masculine frame. It goes against his father’s teachings, but he wants to be alone with this stranger…he wants to fall to his knees. 
  He soon realizes there’s only one thing in life worth worshipping, and it’s between this man’s legs.
