Aubri has always been on her own, depending on no one, living a life free of obligation, responsibility, and even reality. Since she was fourteen years old, she’s had visions. Visions she can’t explain to herself and visions she can’t tell anyone about. She uses her time-old tricks of drinking, drugs, and denial to separate herself from her ‘gift’ and spends her time running from both her past and her future. When demons are there to greet her in Columbus and her seatmate on the bus can see them too, Aubri discovers a side to her visions that she never imagined; about where the visions come from and what they might mean. She wants answers, and this strange group called the Fallen may have them, if she’s willing to dive deeper into the visions she’s always hated and a religion she’s always feared to help them in return. Aubri has a message for the Fallen, but the message of faith one of them has for her may be even more important. less
