Holy Wrath

by Victoria Mier

A fierce sapphic gothic fantasy that masterfully weaves religious trauma, disability rep, and enemies-to-lovers tension into a story about two women choosing rage and love over the systems that tried to break them. The slow burn across 450+ pages makes the payoff devastating.
