18-year-old Tessa Copeland barely survived the worst year of her life—in fact, it was a miracle. After enduring the tragedy that claimed both of her parents, she’s left to pick up the pieces of her shattered life. Combating the holes in her memory and the concern of her friends was hard enough, but a new talent threatens to destroy everything she’s trying to reclaim.
David Allegri didn’t mean to ruin Tessa’s life. She was the brightest soul he’d seen in centuries, and he couldn’t let her die. So, the fallen angel used his abilities to heal her—only he took it too far and changed Tessa forever. Now, he must figure out a way to explain what’s happening to Tessa and somehow protect both of them from the consequences.
His choice made them targets for the Hunters, who will use any means necessary to capture their prey. Only a desperate plan can help them escape, and sacrifices will be made. Time is ticking. Will they make it, or will they be lost to the echoes of fate?
