This book is for you if you're into...
- Secret wars where everyone wants the same mysterious girl
- Protector dynamics with shifting trust and unexpected alliances
- Prophecy-driven urban fantasy with sisters on opposite sides
Aern's only job is to protect the chosen. The trouble is, she is the key to a prophecy and everyone wants her. Hiding a girl in the center of a secret war is tricky business, but when her sister shows up to take Aern hostage, all bets are off.
A slim brunette in borrowed jeans should be the least of his problems, but there is something about Emily he just can't put to rights. And it's not her penchant for using hand tools as weapons or the fact that she seems immune to his sway. Everything about her screams run. But when he discovers she is working toward her own prophecy, he has no choice but to keep her safe. It might have been easy, if she didn't think she was the chosen's protector.
When the opposition descends, their only hope is to stick together, but the truth unravels, and together might prove the biggest complication of them all.
