In the ashes of her past, she will rise up, and her death will save us all. Lizzie ran from her past for ten years, zigzagging across the United States every few months, trying to outlast the prophesy that an oracle gave to her when she was just sixteen years old. But nobody can run from their destiny forever. After watching her friend brutally gunned down by a group of ruthless demons, she had no choice but to protect the woman's child, and there was only one place where Lizzie knew the girl would be safe. Bronard, Missouri. Home. She stayed away to protect her parents, but the girl needed mystical protection. Her parents had taken in magical strays their whole lives, including Lizzie. If anyone could save the poor child's life, it would be her mother and father. But will returning to her home doom Lizzie even as she works to save the child she has vowed to defend?
