Official synopsis Publisher
As a young adult of nineteen, when Raisa Coen loses her father, she hardly expects to hear his voice — let alone see visions of her dead uncles. She has, however, come to expect the murderous voices and threats from people with burning green eyes. Is she the only one that can see them? Her music helps her hold on to what sanity she has. Then she meets a charismatic boy with vibrant energy around him that she has never seen before. Can she trust her best friend Corli with the things that happen to her? After all, Corli has a golden mist hovering over her that must be good, right?
Fate, or destiny, quickly brings Raisa together with the boy, Devon Castaneda, and their friends, Pen and Corli. Prophetic dreams, chance encounters, a television show featuring a psychic medium, an unusual and powerful earthquake, visitations from spirits, a dangerous road trip, fighting the evil people they now call “bruels” and – death; all take place to lead this small group of friends to fight against a ruthless evil and follow the clues prepared for them.
Is what they must do too horrible to consider?
The psychic says that they must. It has been his whole life’s purpose. Nosh, the servant of evil, thinks that human-kind should be saved. But to what end? The degradation of society is barely noticeable at its slow pace of descent, but Devon is keenly aware of it. Which side will he choose?
Emotional and gripping, gritty and thought provoking, this intensely entertaining fantasy, romance adventure takes readers on a wild ride that they will never want to end.
