8 Days For Salvation: A Serial Killer Novella

He calls it salvation. She calls it surviving long enough to die on her own terms.

For ten years, Daniel Delaney has hunted “wayward souls”—women he believes he was born to save. To the outside world, he is charming, handsome, and disarmingly normal. But beneath his home lies a maze of rooms where salvation is earned through pain…and darkness never ends.

His prized captive is Ione Winslow, a woman he renamed Faith—stripped of her identity, blinded, and kept alive only for the moment he deems her worthy of deliverance. For Faith, time has dissolved into a blur of violence and whispered devotion, but a truth is rising from the void: she was never chosen…she was targeted.

As Daniel begins the final eight days of her “transformation,” Faith must navigate his terrifying blend of tenderness and cruelty, the rituals he believes cleanse her, and the madness that tightens around them both. Every breath becomes a negotiation. Every hour a test. And every touch another reminder that the only thing more dangerous than Daniel’s wrath is his love.
