Some destinies are carved into your skin. Others are ripped from your spine. Rose Naarai was born marked-Flightless in a world of winged warriors. A Nephilim trained after the age of eighteen to fight for a divine cause she never believed in. But when her true calling is revealed not in light, but fire, everything fractures: her body, her soul, and the bond she thought was hers to claim. Now hunted by angels, demons, and creatures she didn't know existed, Rose hides in the mountains outside Chapel Hill, carrying a child foretold to end the war between Heaven and Hell. But nothing in the Book of the Fallen warned her about betrayal wearing the face of love-or the Detective with blue eyes who's been watching her long before she knew he existed. Rose finds herself in the arms of a stranger who feels too familiar, too careful with her body, too steady with her storm. Deon says he's here to protect her. Give her the choice she's never been given before, but Rose has been used before. Touched by darkness before and if the child inside her truly is the Caelinox-weapon and key of the prophecy-then Rose will burn the world to keep her safe. Even if it means becoming the monster Heaven fears most. The divine want her silenced. The fallen want her child. But Rose? She just wants revenge. With the lines between love and betrayal blurred and an ancient war bleeding into the mortal world, Rose will have to choose: burn for what was stolen-or rise for what still remains.
