**Chapters 1-3 of Book 1 in a 4 part series**

A war is waging in the shadows. A war between good and evil. A war whose balance lies in the hands of 16-year-old Kate Quill.

Night after night, Kate wakes in a panic that plagues her quiet life in one of the last civilized areas on the American continent. In the New Utah Territory everything is planned and predictable. The Council assigns a place and position for each class, for each ward, for each person. In a controlled society where everything is regulated and food is rationed, something as small as a new kid at school can be startling — especially if you recognize him from your dreams.

Kate meets Abel in the school library and her life trajectory completely shifts.

After Kate is attacked at the city festival, and then again days later, she demands answers and finds herself at the center of a war that has been raging since nearly the beginning of time — a war being fought by an army living in the shadows of humanity.
