Chapter 1

War has overtaken the world and it's not just lives at stakes, but people's souls. Inner turmoil in the heavens has led to the Ashen breaking free from the Gates of Hell. Only the strong willed can prevent the Ashen from taking over the souls of those they love. With the power of the Ashen growing and continued silence from above, the future seems bleak for Hailey and those in the now small town of Seul that took her in years earlier. When two Guardians go rogue and break the silence on a quest of their own however, Hailey discovers Hell may not be her biggest concern after all.
