Innocence

Addison Goodheart lives in a hidden subterranean world beneath a modern metropolis, venturing out only under the cover of night. He possesses a physical deformity so unsettling that anyone who sees his face is gripped by an irrational, murderous rage. His isolation ends when he encounters Gwyneth Thorne, a socialite retreating from her own trauma and the predatory nature of high society. Together, they navigate a city teetering on the edge of a mysterious social collapse. As they hide from those who seek to destroy them, they discover that their shared exile is linked to a supernatural transition facing humanity.

Readers who enjoy gothic suspense and urban fantasy will find a story centered on the distinction between internal morality and outward appearance. This book appeals to those interested in how societal structures marginalize the misunderstood and how individuals maintain their humanity in a hostile environment. It serves those who want a blend of speculative fiction and romantic tragedy. Readers walk away with a specific perspective on the nature of evil and the possibility of a reality existing just beyond the perception of the cynical world.

Practical, clear-cut and escapist; an easy read.
