We are all half-human. Half-beast. But some of us are just monsters. + + + "Jace?" I meet his eyes. I hadn't expected this from him. I honestly hadn't expected him to do this in retaliation, "What have you done?" Sentinels. He let them know where I am. "He did the right thing." That voice. I freeze and let Jace slip through my trembling hands. I recognize that voice...and I recognize her presence. Turning around, one of the hooded guards steps forward. Her amber eyes flash, "You are a long way from home, Prophet Amelia." ... Five years have passed since Amelia was taken from Diurnal. Five years have passed since she started training at The Order. Now, she has returned. But she is no longer the same Wolf that left. In a race against Orion in a search for a missing relic to be used to destroy The Moon, Amelia must return to the places where those who betrayed her are.
