Sixteen-year-old Ashling Shields has had her whole life turned upside down for the second time in two years. As a freshman she was the sole survivor of a harrowing disaster. Now, in the summer before junior year, her life is once again spiralling out of control. 

The deadly force hunting her draws closer every day, and being entangled in the affairs of a world famous rock band doesn’t make life any easier - especially when there’s good reason to believe the band members are literally angels and demons. 

She’ll have to take control of her own destiny - before her destiny takes control of her.

Lullaby

An insistent tapping against my door wakes me up from a dreamless sleep. The last thing I remember before passing out was staring at the book on my bed, page 63 ripped out by some mystery intruder while I was in Alastaire’s room. 


How long did I sleep for? Is it morning yet, or is it still the middle of the night? 


The room is pitch black, so it must still be dark outside. 


I reach for the lamp on my bedside table, knocking over a mason jar filled with fairy bells and lily-of-the-valley in the process. I swear under my breath, wishing that just for once I could actually get a decent night’s sleep. 


I tap my hand around blindly on the bedside table, but the lamp switch has probably fallen down behind the bed. 


“Who’s there?” I snap, still fumbling around looking for my bedside lamp switch.
