Born into a mystical bloodline, Temperance Augustine inherited the Second Sight. But with every gift, there is a levy to pay, and the young woman's premonitions are merely attuned to coming evil. Although she can never see the good in human kind, Temperance has not only accepted her fate, but has also learned to embrace it.  
When Mardi Gras causes her visions to abruptly stop, Temperance's search for answers leads to the handsome and mysterious Roman. Claiming to be her Guardian, he offers to help Temperance unveil the truth about her powers, but instead starts a chain of events that will make them face the Devil himself. Temperance will need to dig deep within her being to find the strength not only to save herself, but also the one man she is forbidden to love.

The Truth Behind Those Eyes

58 parts Complete Mature

Unbeknown to Nikki, her next delivery will offer her two choices; deliver the package and die or flee and be forever hunted by demons. On a routine delivery, Nikki meets a handsome stranger in the wrong part of town. After this brief encounter, she finds herself thrust into a bloodthirsty, apocalyptic war that has been raging, unseen, around mankind for centuries. Devoid of an escape route she must learn to survive with the help of her demon slaying Guardian, Josh, and his band of unearthly cohorts. However, Nikki soon finds herself plagued by doubt as her Guardian refuses to answer any of her questions. Discovering her ability to produce fire only makes the situation worse as she finds herself unable to quench the overwhelming fury that comes with it. Leaning on Josh for support, Nikki's attachment to him grows but so does her suspicion and resentment. Realising that Josh is the cause of her inability to control her deadly weapon Nikki is left with little choice but to leave him. Out on her own, she must confront her darkest fear, not the demons that hunt her but the ones within. Faced with this choice, Nikki must either accept who she is and join those who oppose Josh, or fight that which attempts to consume her and risk the lives of the man she loves and all who stand with him.
