In a world where the unknown is feared, and magic thought to have disappeared, Ava Ulfura is desperate to hide the fact that she's different. The gifts bestowed on her by the gods seem more like a curse than anything else. But when Ava's father suddenly disappears, she's forced to risk exposing herself to find him - and there's nothing that will stop her from trying. He's all she has left after something dark and deadly murdered her equally gifted mother. But after a man with wings saves her from the very same monsters that killed her mother, Ava is dragged into a much bigger problem.
The shadows of the past are beginning to crawl back into the present, and Ava begins to suspect that the gifts that forced her into hiding for so long are somehow connected not just to her fathers disappearance, but to something even bigger.
