Synopsis
Nyla has ignored the whispers of heaven her entire life. Her angelic power has only caused pain and despair to those she loves, and she is terrified of her own potential – as are the other angels. Now the demonic hordes are an expanding plague, and the last six human nations are on the verge of collapse. Their only hope to escape extinction lies in Nyla and the untapped power within her. When a nation harboring the few remaining angels calls for assistance, Nyla is thrust into the limelight. Joined by her guard and mentor Talivus, a soldier of the elite Fifth Legion of Dessedra, she travels the continent in search of allies against the demonic threat. She discovers that the other angels hunt her, and her world crumbles. Allegiances falter, the moral compasses of the world’s leaders spin erratically, and devastation befalls her own life as she unlocks the gifts heaven has bestowed upon her. Will she overcome her fears and save what little remains of humanity? If so, at what cost?
