The Saint of Heartbreak

"Finally we have a lovely, melancholic, sensual romance between two of the Bible's greatest villains-Judas Iscariot and the Devil. Between lush, decadent prose, Morgan Dante weaves together a queer love story, a gorgeous homage to The Divine Comedy, and thoughts on finding love in the damned shadow of God. A hellish, sacrilegious must-read." - rafael nicolás, author of Angels Before Man "Morgan Dante has done it again: THE SAINT OF HEARTBREAK is sensuous, provocative, and heart-wrenching in equal measure. Painting a picture of lonely, cyclical damnation, Dante turns 'Hell is other people' on its head. Masterful and salacious, this gothic romance is sure to make your heart full." - Tyler Battaglia, author of Pray for Him Two of the Bible's greatest villains... After his betrayal with a kiss, Judas Iscariot dies in despair and goes to Hell. When Christ saves other souls during the Harrowing of Hell, he leaves Judas behind-but not alone in the ninth circle, where the most detestable traitors go. Callous, resigned, and abandoned by God long ago, the Devil sees Judas as a pathetic wretch, but he soon finds a kindred spirit. As the centuries pass, they struggle to find even a sliver of happiness in Hell. Doomed by the narrative, will they find happiness, or will their story continue to be a tragedy?
