Welcome to Dead End

There is a door that appears at random, under mysterious circumstances. It has no address and no permanent home. It could appear in a crowded city, an abandoned subway, or in the middle of the desert when you’re lost and near death.

Dead End. A halfway point, a portal, and a very popular bar among the supernatural creatures of both worlds. Entering is a risk no matter how strong you are. There are things inside that would make mortal blood run cold…if it wasn’t spilling on the floor, that is.

Human souls are a delicacy, and maybe that’s why the Seven Deadly Sins made such an alluring trap.

One wrong move, and you is swept into their universe. But there’s something about them. Something that makes the usually indifferent Sins’ blood boil. They want you. Badly.

How they react is unique to the Sin…

Asher, Pride and their leader, is sharp, focused, and misses nothing. He will simply decree that you belongs to them. Resistance amuses him more than it angers him because, really, what are they going to do? He cannot fathom being bested, especially by a mortal. Manage it, and you will give him something he hasn’t had in centuries: a challenge.

Kaine, Wrath and their enforcer, sees you as a problem. He isn’t just grumpy. He’s lethal. He won’t kill them. Nah, too easy. He wants to rip whatever hold they have on him from his soul first. Unfortunately, every attempt only drags him deeper until even he can’t deny his feelings. He’ll try, though.

Rhys is Greed, and Greed doesn’t share. The smooth-talking bartender has one thing on his mind: making you his and his alone. That means besting the other six or trapping you in a deal even Asher can’t save them from. He’s charming, calculating, and slimy, like a used-car salesman who glows in the dark.

Bram, Gluttony, might seem like the least threatening. That’s a trap. He’ll use warm meals and gentle attention to keep you comfortable and satisfied. Soon they won’t want to leave. Eventually, the thought might not even cross their mind. Then he has them exactly where he wants them.

Vesper, Lust, is temptation wrapped in silk. Beautiful, shameless, and fully aware of it, he understands desire better than anyone. He knows what you wants before they do and has no problem using it against them. He’ll coax them into his trap with a smile and make leaving him very difficult indeed.

Dorian is Envy, but his specialty is making others jealous. He’ll flaunt admirers, flirt shamelessly, and make certain you sees every second. He wants their attention, their jealousy, their desire. He wants you so consumed with wanting him that eventually they’re the one coming to him.

Laziel is Sloth, but he isn’t simply sleepy. His temptation is surrender. Whatever you planned suddenly feels like too much effort. Planning to escape? Too much work. Going to run? Why bother? Let Laziel handle everything. Stay with him instead. It’s so much easier.

The door is open, you. Come on in…just don’t expect to ever leave again.
