Some destinies are carved into your skin. Others are ripped from your spine. Rose Naarai was born marked-Flightless in a world of winged warriors. A Nephilim trained after the age of eighteen to fight for a divine cause she never believed in. But when her true calling is revealed not in light, but fire, everything fractures: her body, her soul, and the bond she thought was hers to claim. Now hunted by angels, demons, and creatures she didn't know existed, Rose hides in the mountains outside Chapel Hill, carrying a child foretold to end the war between Heaven and Hell. But nothing in the Book of the Fallen warned her about betrayal wearing the face of love-or the Detective with blue eyes who's been watching her long before she knew he existed. Rose finds herself in the arms of a stranger who feels too familiar, too careful with her body, too steady with her storm. Deon says he's here to protect her. Give her the choice she's never been given before, but Rose has been used before. Touched by darkness before and if the child inside her truly is the Caelinox-weapon and key of the prophecy-then Rose will burn the world to keep her safe. Even if it means becoming the monster Heaven fears most. The divine want her silenced. The fallen want her child. But Rose? She just wants revenge. With the lines between love and betrayal blurred and an ancient war bleeding into the mortal world, Rose will have to choose: burn for what was stolen-or rise for what still remains.

"So." She mused, sliding one black nail across her lip in a sensual caress as she stared at me with eyes the color of molten gold. "You are the one they call Huntress." Disregarding the pain in my side from the most recent beating, I straightened my shoulders and stood tall, my chin jutting out in defiance. "Yes." "Mm." Those intriguing eyes watched me from her languid position on the throne. "But, you are not just a huntress, are you?" I allowed the predatory instincts I usually worked so hard to keep hidden, to surface, feeling the burning of my eyes and shifting of bones under my skin. A slow grin slid across my face as my beast stared back at her through my human skin. The Queen didn't react to my sudden change of character, instead choosing to lean forward in interest. "How fascinating." • Once, the world was ruled by humans and technology. They were governed by a president that made choices for all. Vampires, werewolves alike hid their existence from the humans for centuries, blending in as a whole. Now, they hid no more. States are now territories governed by kings and queens, humans are regarded and used for no more than their blood and body before they are discarded and forgotten. Werewolves and vampires were at war, and it was said that the wolves had all been but snuffed out, save for one. When Adira is captured while hunting outside her homeland, she is unexpectedly sold to the Queen in the North. Wolf blood is sacred, it is said to hold inexplainable powers, and as the only wolf-borne known to humans and vampires alike, Adira fears for her life. Thrown into a world governed by everything she's been trained to hate, Adira fights for her rightful place in the world, a seat at the Queen's side. But proving her worth won't be easy, the price for failure is her life.
