Warrior angel Eli lives by his own rules and bows to no one, even as he is summoned before the Tribunal Seven. But when the powerful council deem the hunter has lost his humanity, they sentence him to earth with one mission-learn compassion or be condemned to Hell. A woman trapped in a lonely hell Ashley is a freak. With one glance into a person's eyes, she foresees their death-so she tries not to look. She's even willing to move to the wilds of Alaska to get away from civilization. But when an attack brings a handsome stranger to her rescue, she can't help but be drawn to his steel-blue gaze ... no matter what she'll see there. But the scars on his back ...he didn't get those protecting her. Who, or what is he? Can they save each other? Eli is drawn by the darkness that has consumed too many of his fellow hunters, but Ashley tempts him even more. Just one problem-by giving into their desire, they begin the mating process. He must save her from whoever is dooming angels to Hell, long enough for her to come into her own-then let her go. Ashley longs for Eli's touch. In his arms, she is stronger than anyone knows. Can her love convince him that together, they have a chance against the evil plaguing them all?
