Synopsis

Two immortals fell to earth for her. Neither one came to be kind.

Noa Drake is nobody special. An introvert numbing a murdered mother and a haunted mind with smoke, whiskey, and tarot cards she only half believes in. Then a psychic reading on her twenty-fifth birthday cracks her open, and everything she thought was ordinary turns out to be a lie.

The power waking in her blood was put there on purpose. The secrets of the universe live in her bloodline, planted generations ago by a fallen angel who stole her soul to do it. Her best friend isn't human. The stranger in her head isn't a dream. And every supernatural force on both sides of the veil wants to claim her or burn her for what she carries.

Two men stand in her corner, and neither is safe. Baz, the guardian who gave up his wings and became a wolf-shifter through an ancient ceremony just to walk beside her. And Vallen, the fallen angel who engineered her whole existence and still can't let her go. One would die for her. One already damned her. And the frost between them is just beginning to thaw.

But the war won't wait for her to be ready. When the field runs red and the only plan left is to get close enough to kill a demon Emperor, Noa learns exactly what it costs to be the most important woman alive.

This is where it begins.
