Two years have passed since she first met the Fallen Archangel Cassiel. One since he rose from the Atlantic Ocean. Now, with the Council gone and rumors of the Touched circulating, the world is becoming more dangerous. The free world is rounding up the angels, and putting demons to death. This is not the world that Charlotte Scott expected to live in, but it is the one she inherited nonetheless. It is a world in which her most beloved gift, her eyes, could kill her. In a series of unprecedented events, she assumes unofficial guardianship over two young neighbors. She must do her best to keep them safe, but this time at least, she is prepared to protect those she cares for.
