Lifelong foster kids Jake Pham, Alex Garcia, and Sarah Powell have never had much control over their lives. But after they find a crashed spaceship in the forest with a dying giant inside, they are faced with a choice that will decide their destinies forever.

In his last moments, the giant transfers his knowledge and secrets to them. A war is being fought among the stars, and they have been tasked with completing his final mission to save his people. But it’s not an easy decision whether to stay or go. Joining the war means going up against a murderous regime and its demon-like supersoldiers.

Five years after the war with the Dark, the Naturals — the order of demon hunting mages who protect the world — are busier than ever. Demons still prowl the earth, searching for a way to prolong their lives, and Madeleine is on the front lines risking everything to end the threat once and for all.
But when she runs afoul of a demon and risks exposing the supernatural world to humanity, her future is on the line. As punishment, she’s transferred to the archaeological dig at Camelot.
Expecting a boring babysitting job, Madeleine is shocked when she lands in the middle of a secret so powerful, it might tear apart the entire world — again.
Can a moody goth girl hold it together long enough to stop another war erupting?
There’s only one way to find out.

Most people could never kill without regret.

I don’t have that luxury. I’m an artificial creation who exists solely to follow the orders of a tyrannical maniac. Death is the only constant I know.

I want more, so I’m running.

What lies beyond the realm of my former master, presents a whole new set of problems, including a mistake that lands me at death’s door. I accept that. Welcome it, really. For a relic of war, death is my inevitable release.

But fate is a fickle creature.

When a dragon saves me—a creature said to be long extinct—then offers me a chance at revenge, I don’t know what to believe. Trust gets people killed, but something is different about this creature.

Will he give me the freedom I desire, or is my fate sealed when I agree to his terms?
