Commanded by a mysterious congregation called the Msala, the Angels of Death ensure that each mans destiny takes its due course on Earth.
But what happens when love intervenes?
Can an Angel of Death deny his own nature and challenge destiny?
Can love rebel against fate?

When Gemmas eyes first meet the dark, piercing gaze of Evan James, an ominous shadow creeps into her life, ultimately leading her to face her destiny. She doesnt realize Evan is one of Deaths soldiers and that Death is summoning her.
Her time is up: Gemma must die . and Evan has been sent to kill her.
But what if shes the only one who can truly see him?

Dark. Romantic. Dangerous.
