In the town of Loweridge Pennsylvania, strange things begin to happen.
"Teenagers huh, well the prophecy saw to leave that detail out."
The teens all seemed star struck at the man, unable to speak, but Angela in true fashion was the first to make her presents felt.
"Excuse me, but, who the hell are you?"
The man seemed unfazed by her blatant rudeness, instead he just raised a brow, sighing reluctantly.
"My name is Nathaniel, and I'm your guide. ."
"Our what?" Angela screeched causing everyone to squint their eyes in pain.
He was about to answer when Kelsey shot with another question at him. She stepped over to him inspecting her with her eyes.
"What do you mean your guide?" she breathed out.
"So what are you supposed to do? What's your purpose?" Angela interjected Natheneil's monologue which he didn't like not one bit.
"I am to help you train, hone your skills, gifts, curses, whatever you may call it, to help prevent the bloody apocalypse you saw in your dreams, well visions."
That did it, silence fell upon them, like sudden shortness of breath. They were now tuned in, listening intently to Nathaniel. He smirked in approval, happy that he finally got them to stop talking.
"Now that I have got your attention, and properly explained myself, any questions?" he said moving his arms like he was conducting a choir.
Kelsey raised her hands like she was in class. "So, the things Angela saw, they were real?"
Nathaniel nodded. "Everything she saw was a vision of a possible future. Which would become inevitable if you fail in your mission. . . . . . . . "

Thrown out of her elite family home as a teenager for getting pregnant, Charissa has spent years juggling multiple jobs to support her genius son, Leo. The only person in her corner is Emily, her loyal and guilt-ridden best friend, who blames herself for taking Charissa to the party that changed her life.
Just when Charissa thinks things can't get worse, she loses everything-her jobs, her stability, her control. Then Blackwood Inc. comes knocking, forcefully offering her a job she can't refuse. But Blackwood is no ordinary company. Shadows linger in the corridors, demons hide behind human faces, and her enigmatic boss isn't just intimidating-he's a demon.
And the cherry on this nightmare sundae? He's also Leo's father.
As attacks from hell escalate, targeting Leo for his unique half-demon lineage, Charissa is thrust into a supernatural storm that reveals secrets about herself she never imagined.

Torn between protecting her son, navigating a dangerous underworld, and keeping Emily blissfully unaware of the chaos, Charissa must discover the truth about her powers-and herself-before it's too late.
Dark forces are closing in. A mother's love is unyielding. And Charissa will do anything to protect her son... even if it means becoming the monster they fear.
