Publisher's Synopsis
Helene Graal grew up in a small neighborhood, and even though she lost her father at four, she's never viewed her life as anything but ordinary. But as she approaches eighteen, that's about to change. Secrets emerge and threaten to sweep her back to where she truly belongs-the Lair. Caught in between fantasy and reality, Helene truly thinks she's losing her mind. Her mother introduces her to Hunter, a dangerously sexy angel that Helene would be honored to kill-even if it means she has to die first. Frustrated that her mother insists she stay with Hunter, Helene is driven to her wits' end on the night she learns the bizarre and horrible truth. Her mother was once an angel who had her wings clipped eighteen years ago-and who still has the Grail hidden away. On that same night, her mother disappears, and the Grail is still nowhere to be found. Stunned, Helene finds herself caught in an ancient contest between the fallens and the angels. Now she's the only hope to find the cup that holds the key to immortality. As time goes by, she realizes that things have their own way of hiding secrets, and nothing seems to be clear. Each answer only creates more questions, and the story Hunter is feeding her doesn't feel simple anymore. First they came for her mother, and now they're after Helene. What's a girl to do? Go with her instincts or an angel she can't trust?
