In this riveting contemporary fantasy, 18-year-old Roxy uncovers a life-altering family secret while discovering that the boy haunting her nightmares is not only an angel, but her fated mate.
When Roxy moves from Hull to Denver, she expects her summer to be uneventful. All she has to do is not piss off her dad, continue healing from the loss of her mom, and conquer her sleep paralysis before going to university in the fall. Easy.
But as fate would have it, she bumps into the beautiful boy, Zain, who’s been in her recurring nightmare. Each time, they’re burning at the stake. In real life, she witnesses him snapping the neck of a man and quickly learns that not only do jinn exist, but angels, too.
Meeting Zain triggers new nightmares, ones that come with a warning: If Roxy and Zain don’t ignore the attraction between them, there will be hell to pay. And upon learning that their souls have been entwined for centuries, they must decide whether their connection in this lifetime is worth fighting for, especially against the divine forces that forbid them from being together.
