You have been chosen… Will you accept your destiny? When seventeen-year-old Tolen Parks isn't working extra hours to pay the bills or attending school, he pretends he's an ordinary guy so he and his ailing mother can have a semi-normal life in a small, forgotten town. But creatures of the Dark are hunting Tolen because of the abilities he's worked to suppress. Abilities that signal a destiny he couldn't possibly have imagined. Sixteen-year-old Macy has battled the Dark nearly all her life, but monsters and demons are nothing compared to Tolen, the unruly boy she is forced to save and then train-a pursuit that awakens her compassion and shakes the walls around her fractured heart. United in anguish, divided by spite, Tolen and Macy must learn to work together. Because fear is insidious, the rising shadows have claws, and destiny is beckoning, whether they are ready for it or not.
