Most people go through life unaware of the war between light and dark raging just beyond their field of vision. They live blissful, ordinary lives, but that is a luxury Taylor will never have. With a single birthday wish, she is thrown into a war between Eve's angels and Lilith's demons. Bestowed with the magical ability to control light and adorned with the sight of supernatural races, Taylor is forced to fight for her own survival. Then Lucian, her shadowy protector, enters her life and heart. But there’s something dark inside of him: he’s a vampire, the original Dark One. With her mother murdered and a hideous beast out for her blood, Taylor has no choice but to put her faith in Lucian and go to war as she tries to unravel the mystery of who she truly is. "There is gore, there is sexually explicit content, but none of it is excessive or forced into the story." "There was one scene, toward the end, that really pulled at my heartstrings. The imagery used when there is a scene of tragedy or terror or any extreme situation is amazing. Even the more languid scenes, the flutter of leaves and the descriptions of the sky are beautiful. Language like this is rare in modern writings, and something I often only find when I go back to Poe or the more classical writers. I adore such descriptions and the author uses them beautifully." "The story is wonderful and really grips you. I cannot wait for the next one just so I can find out what will happen next." "Dark, emotional, and riveting!" less

In the war between darkness and light, everyone has a shade of gray. Taylor Lane knows who she is and what she’s meant to do. As the creator of humanity, it’s her task to stop her sister Lilith before she goes through with her quest for vengeance. If she doesn’t, humankind will be annihilated. Her best bet to stop Lilith is to secure the celestial rose, the source of all light, but Lilith won’t give up the fight easily... moreIn the war between darkness and light, everyone has a shade of gray.
