SOON TO BE A MOTION PICTURE. Read before the movie comes out.
Every life he saves ages him. The girl he loves might be the one life he can't.
Luke Whelan is a near-immortal angel cursed by blood and bound by a cruel divine bargain.
His touch can heal any wound, but every life he saves steals decades from his own. With each miracle, his body withers, his mind frays, and his humanity slips further away. The only way to reclaim his youth is the one act he fears most: taking a life.
Hiding among mortals, Luke meets Julie, a haunted young woman seeking refuge from a life she barely escaped. Married too young to a strict, deeply religious man who used faith as control, Julie is running from emotional manipulation, guilt, and a past that refuses to let her go. Luke is drawn to her broken strength, her quiet defiance, and the dangerous hope she awakens in him.
But Julie is not as invisible as she thinks.
A charming stranger begins to circle her. Seductive, magnetic, and wrong in ways she can't explain. He is a demon in disguise, feeding on fear and faith, and he has chosen Julie as his prize. To protect her, Luke must confront the one truth he's been running from: love makes him weak... and killing might be the only way to save her.
As Heaven and Hell collide, Luke is forced into his role as guardian of the Book of Souls, the ancient relic that records every human destiny. When Malagor, a fallen angel bent on vengeance, unleashes an army of the dead to conquer Heaven, Hell, and Earth, Luke becomes the last line of defense even as his sanity unravels.
Torn between light and shadow, hunted by angels, demons, and his own curse, Luke must choose what kind of monster he's willing to become.
Because to save Julie and the world, he must decide:
will he remain an angel of mercy...
or become the very weapon Heaven and Hell both fear?
