Description:
In Pestilence, the world has already ended—at least as humanity knows it. Pestilence, the first of the Four Horsemen, rides across the globe spreading disease as divine punishment. When Sara, a human survivor, tries to stop him, she fails… and ends up his captive instead. What follows is a brutal journey across a dying world where hatred, fear, and survival slowly give way to understanding, humanity, and a dangerous, forbidden attraction. As Sara challenges Pestilence’s belief that mankind deserves extinction, both must confront whether love can exist in a world meant to end.

Trope/Mood:
Apocalypse romance; enemies-to-lovers; captive/forced proximity; immortal godlike hero; moral debates (humanity vs punishment); slow-burn emotional transformation; dark, intense themes with hope threaded through; high angst, philosophical undertones, and very steamy payoff with a redemption arc.
