The action-packed conclusion of The Judgment Duet. Neither fallen nor pure ... he lies in between. Redemption is unheard of for a fallen angel, but Lars is unlike any other. His heart is overwhelmed with grief as the child with extraordinary gifts still needs protection. And a certain Dark One prowls in search of all who stand in the way. The gatekeeper who holds Lars' heart becomes prey, and he finds himself going straight to Hell. The lesson that all things come at a cost also brings him face-to-face with another life-altering choice. No one is more shocked than Lars when he is called to lead a new army of those like him-in between. But evil has plans of its own.
