Our souls are never more vulnerable than when we sleep. Only in that plain of existence can temptation and fantasy unknowingly lead us to the Dark Door. Just as discreet as evil can be, the Spirit Walkers of the Nova are more inconspicuous in protecting dreamers from being stripped of their souls in the Unwoken.
The forging of souls is tasked to the stars, but from the death of one, The Nova's members are embedded with the star's cataclysmic energy. Cast by not one, but two such events, came the soul of Cordelia Skye. Once the flourishing Overseer of The Nova, Cordelia was blazing a path to being the most powerful Spirit Walker to face the stalkers of our dreams. Then the unforeseen loss of her love Atlas, tainted that path.
She must choose her next steps carefully, as not to succumb to the darkness that has marked her soul. Treading through loss, overwhelming power, and the expectations of the ones she loves, Cordelia will decide where her new path will lead. The shadows call to her, but is it the darkness?

The Order
For thousands of years The Order has been protecting creation from Evil, the paranormal, and sometimes themselves without the world knowing. Each member of the ancient society has been sworn to put humanity above all else, even if not by choice. The Fallen are some that don't have that choice. Many are serving penance after being cast out during the battle in Heaven or for other transgressions. Callen and Fin are two of The Fallen, who are serving their time, counting down the days until they are able to go home. Each save brings them closer to their rightful power and closer to getting out. But a higher power has other plans for the disgraced Angels. Plans that keep them Earth-bound for longer than any of them anticipated. Plans that include Harper McCarthy, who has no idea what truly exists in the world. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- All Harper McCarthy wants out of life is to raise her six year old son, Cameron the best she can. But when Callan and Fin blow into town, they throw her into the chaotic world of angels, demons, ghosts and creatures that only belong in nightmares. A world that in her mind, shouldn't exist. A world she should have always been a part of. With lies and betrayals coming to light, Harper comes to find that she is one of three keys in a prophecy that should have taken place almost a decade ago, one that was thrown off course by someone she trusted the most. While Harper tries to come to terms who...or what she is, Callen must decide whether to embrace his new role or hold onto his resentment for humanity, who he was sworn to protect. Not only does their world hang in the balance, but all realms may crash and burn. *Contains acts of violence, foul language, sexual situations, Humor, tense situations and a few twists and turns.* Read at your own risk.
