"Demons stay in hell, huh?
Tell that to them."
James Callaghan has a straight-forward target in mind - survive his final year at high school, graduate with flying colors, and hopefully get into the college of his choice. With a stable family, a comfortable environment, close friends, it seems quite simple, right?
Wrong.
His life turns upside-down, literally at a single spark, as he witnesses his parents perish in a mysterious fire that engulfs their home. Five years later, he is contacted by Dani Wilson, daughter of a successful business entrepreneur. Heeding her father's dying words, Dani proposes a deal - his assistance to find a classified project stolen from her father's company two days ago, in return for information pertaining to the true reason behind the death of his parents.
It takes them on a breathless chase through mankind's dark history. They are plunged into a shadowy, mythical world where myths become real, secrets are revealed, and nightmares are not simply dreams.
Can Dani and James put away their differences and work together, to find the answers they seek before time runs out? Or will the shadowy individual, who has been after them from the start, manipulating everything, prevail at the end? Hold your breath, for the very fabric of your reality is about to be torn apart.
"Something is special about you. I don't know what they know, but you need to prepare. Okay? Can you do that for me?"
David's words stayed with Alyssa, though she doesn't remember hearing them, and has forgotten her brush with Death, the in-between, and almost all of her memories of the time that she spent with David. After a year of training, mourning the boy she loved and lost, Alyssa thinks she's ready for anything. She's fast, strong, and fearless.
But when strange things begin to happen, Aly thinks she's lost her mind. How is she supposed to fight something she can't see? Nothing is as it seems, and she soon realizes everybody has a hidden agenda. The only question is: are they friend or foe?
With new friends and danger lurking in the shadows, Aly doesn't know who to trust. As her birthday draws near, she needs protection, but feels alone . . . Or is she?
When you can't trust yourself, who can you turn to?
