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

A pair of gleaming yellow eyes. Bristling fur, black as coal. 


And a row of teeth like little white knives flashing towards my throat. 


I jump off the bench in a heartbeat, and I hear the sharp snap of the wolf’s jaws closing on thin air, in the exact spot I was a moment before. 


I land hard on my back, knocking the air from my lungs. For a second everything’s a blur; I see the stars swimming in and out of focus between the swaying tree branches above me. 


A shadow moves into my vision, blocking out the starlight. 


But before I can spring into action, strong arms are around me, wrapping me up, lifting me onto my feet. 


“Are you ok?” A familiar voice asks. 


It takes a moment for my vision to clear. 


The face I see before me is the last one I expected to see right now.
