Summary
Being born with the ability to foretell the future is an amazing skill but to live as prey, hunted for that power, sucks. One girl knows this life all too well. Her name is Leah and this is her story.
Leah Hawthorne has kept her talent hidden for years, fearing capture and life imprisonment in an insane asylum just like they did to her grandfather. After all isn't that where they put raving lunatics who declare their supernatural abilities? It isn't until a group of earthbound angel Protectors show her a glimpse of a new life, one where her gift can be used openly, that she dares to throw off the strict regulations that have bound her to a limited existence. But angels aren't the only ones who have been watching over Leah.
Donovan, high commander of the demon army—the Leviathan Order—has been lurking in the shadows, pining after Leah's ability, awaiting the perfect moment to snatch her away from the Protectors. Thankfully Leah's strong instinct and discernment for all things evil has her running in the opposite direction, right into the arms of her angel Protectors. What she doesn't know is that her decision to join the Protectors sets off a cataclysmic war between the spiritual entities, making her the Leviathan Order's newest target.
Enraged as losing Leah, his most precious prize, to his mortal enemies, Donovan seeks to destroy Leah in the most devious way he can, by kidnapping the only family member she has left.. (From the publisher.)
