Where blood writes the truth that faith tried to hide

Blood Rites and Sacred Lies—where faith meets damnation and love tastes like heresy. Anya Kates writes dark paranormal romance set in a world where the church guards secrets older than its saints, where demons walk in holy flesh, and where the line between salvation and seduction was never as clear as the priests claimed. Her heroines are witnesses to truths that could shatter empires. Her heroes are the devils those empires tried to bury. These aren't love stories for the faint of heart—they're sacred fires that burn everything false away.

Blood Rites and Sacred Lies

The Devil's Witness: Blood Rites and Sacred Lies Book One

She was raised to fear the devil. Now she's the only witness to what the church really worships. When Sera Valdez discovers her family has been protecting a secret older than Christianity itself, she becomes the target of forces both holy and damned. The man sent to silence her isn't human—but he isn't entirely demon either. Dante has served the shadow councils for centuries, eliminating threats to their carefully maintained lies. But something about Sera makes him question every order he's ever followed. In a world where priests broker deals with darkness and angels have agendas of their own, one woman's testimony could burn it all down. If she survives long enough to speak.

The Broken Compact: Blood Rites and Sacred Lies Book Two

He was sent to kill her. He filed a false report instead. Four years ago, Fritz Malvetti received an order from his father: eliminate a woman in Detroit who had been subjected to forced demonic possession. Destroy the evidence. Close the case. Fritz drove seven hours through an ice storm to do it. When he arrived, he found a woman sitting on the floor of her kitchen, and the demon inside her looked out through her eyes, and Fritz said the four words that would unravel a century of perfect obedience: I won't do it. Miriam Roth, a historian who spent four years as a prisoner inside her own body, is now the investigation's most dangerous weapon. She counted. She documented. She remembers everything the demon said and did, including the supply chain it was part of. From a safehouse on Halsted Street, Fritz and Miriam have mapped a trafficking network that moves possessed humans through jurisdictional seams no one was supposed to notice. And the deeper they dig, the closer the trail comes to the Malvetti patriarch's desk.
