Prologue

Hunted down by preternatural forces, Aurora is drawn into the realm of angels - the Overworld of the malachim - where she learns the harsh truth about the Covenant that binds them to humankind and the rebellion that seeks freedom from this divine bondage. Even more alarming is the discovery of Aurora's true origin that has placed her young daughter in the perilous crosshairs of the rebellion led by the one who calls himself the Redeemer. With the fate of the malachim and the future of humankind resting on her shoulders, Aurora and the mercenary, Kailash, must race against time to uncover the secret her daughter holds before they are ensnared in the Redeemer's plot and the holy revolt comes to fruition. Meanwhile, Aurora's own existence hangs precariously in the balance as the beast that lay dormant within her awakens to life.
