Some are born to heal; others are born to witness, but the cruelest gift is being cursed with both. There are ancient bloodlines that taste death on the wind before it arrives, they are the inheritors of heaven's burden.
Jared works as a paramedic in the city, but he's more than just another first responder. Ancient blood runs through his veins—the kind that lets him see things others can't and heal in ways that have nothing to do with medical school.
He's good at his job, maybe too good. While other paramedics follow protocol, he finds himself drawn to moments where life and death hang in the balance; guided by visions and an inner compass that leads him to the worst calls of death. The ones where people are already dying, where the blood won't stop, where families watch everything fall apart. His touch can sometimes pull someone back from the edge, but not always. And lately, the dead outnumber the saved.
Then, there's Liam his partner; a young paramedic who still thinks they can save everyone. But Jared knows better. The city eats people alive. They see it all, and it marks them both. But such is the life of those who inherit the burden of heaven and it's insidious gifts.
Journey with them as they navigate the intersection of duty, desire, and destiny...
