A detective with a secret.
An exiled angel out for vengeance.
A world teetering on the brink of disaster.
Still reeling from her near death at the hands of a fallen angel, homicide detective Alexandra Jarvis wants no part of the war that continues to brew between Heaven and Hell. But when she sees a familiar face plastered across a nationwide police bulletin, she knows she has no choice but to get involved.
Because if the Appointed known as Seth Benjamin is here on Earth instead of in Heaven, things have already gone terribly wrong. But with agents of both Heaven and Hell after Seth, too, she's in a race to see who gets to him first.
Can Alex get to Seth and gain his trust in time? Or will her fight to save him trigger the very war that will destroy the entire world?
