Description

Lucille is on the brink of her pre-arranged marriage to Elias, a commitment that promises stability, obedience guided by The Orders of the Council. Like everyone else, she relies on her trusted Guide to chaperone her through life’s choices. But everything she knows—and everything she is—is questioned when Scarlett arrives.

The story begins in confusion: Lucille can’t remember who she is or where she belongs. Scarlett appears, alluring and intense, seemingly the only person in the world without a Guide. She confronts Lucille, desperate to fill in the gaps of Lucille’s memory and warn her away from the mundane, loveless fate she shares with Elias. Their connection is immediate, passionate, and dangerous.

As Lucille and Scarlett grow closer, their connection defies the ancient guidelines written by The Orders of the Council. Their love is declared corrupt—a direct challenge to a society where arranged marriages can never be forsaken. Devotion intensifies until Elias discovers the shattering truth.

Poison Hearts is a devastating exploration of temptation, morality, and societal expectation. This story questions the price of a safe life and the cost of passion.

The ancient rules promised safety. Forbidden love promised execution.
