Book three of the Mythology series. Self-preservation, above all. That's the credo by which guardian Jonathan Draper justifies his existence. Or at least it was until he found Hope Gentry. Backed by the powers of his beloved Hope and his most loyal guardian Raleigh Peyton, Jonathan should have enough influence to save his sector from destruction. But Buffalo is plagued by guardian unrest and increasing threats from the city's most evil entities, and Jonathan is stripped of all authority. Never harm a soul. That's the credo by which the members of the demon alliance live. Micah Condie has trouble fitting in, and it doesn't help that he has enough power to set anyone he touches on fire. He can't return home until he cancels out the debt he owes the most powerful immortals. But when he uncovers an eighteen-year old secret that rocks the foundation of his existence, Micah has no choice but to go back home. Now not only must he placate the immortals, but he must face an uncertain future with his girlfriend Hope Gentry, reconcile with the family he abandoned, and finally settle the score with Jonathan Draper. Someone is masterminding a plot to destroy all of the guardians and human souls in existence. Only if Jonathan and his most unlikely ally, Micah, can join forces will they be able to save them. The fate of all depends on the will of one: THE ETERNAL.
