    Summary

    Cardinal Lawrence has always imagined hell as a place of noise and chaos—until it finds him on a tranquil spring afternoon in the Vatican Gardens. When Goffredo Tedesco, his ambitious and divisive fellow cardinal, unexpectedly seeks him out for an urgent confession, a few months after the last conclave, Lawrence is drawn into an impossible situation. What begins uncomfortable soon unfolds into something far more horrifying—an encounter that forces Lawrence to confront the Church’s inner fractures, his personal convictions and loyalities, and the unsettling possibility that true damnation may not roar, but whisper.

    “Surely, you don't want me to inflict my attention on Cardinal Bellini.”

    Great. Everything kept blowing up in his face as the threat spilled out of his lips. He should have stopped talking.

    Thomas doesn't know if he's being heard, but God certainly did send him an (extremely unlikely) message.

    And while he yet spake, behold a multitude, and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, went before them, and drew near unto Jesus to kiss him. But Jesus said unto him, Judas, betrayest thou the Son of man with a kiss?

    Summary

    “I know this is difficult. I know you do not like this. But you are starving yourself, Thomas, and God would not see you starved. I would not see you starved.”

    Thomas wonders what it says about him that one of those means more than the other— and what it means that this does not bother him as it should, this blasphemous thought, this sacrilegious reprioritization.

    “I do not wish to argue with you, my dear Vincent,” Thomas says, voice quiet. “Your concern is kind, but— I am afraid this is only how I am.”

    Vincent squeezes his hands.

    “You are not your punishments,” Vincent tells him, firm, warm, insistent. “You are not your denial. You are not your sacrifice, Thomas, nor your hunger. You are not your starvation.” His hands shake Thomas’s, a rattle to keep his attention. “You are Thomas. You are human, and you are starving, and you should not be.”

    Summary

    "Thomas was a horrible tease, or rather, he was very good at it. Thomas spoke through his plans for the Holy Father earlier that day, making sure he consented to the proceedings enthusiastically.

    That’s how Vincent found himself in a comfortable chair in his bedroom, blindfolded and with each wrist tied securely to the arms with red silk, his ankles the same. With Thomas knelt between his thighs, a comfortable pillow under his knees, and his face . . ."
