du Preez, Nicolien

The battle of being a victim had started long before Ena had even realized she was one – a victim of evil.

When Ena Griffith discovers that her husband’s death had been no mere accident, her life starts to take abrupt twists. Her childhood friend, Lucas, is suddenly greatly obsessed with her safety, but with good reason. He carries a secret of a magical world Ena had never even knew existed, leading Lucas to discover the involvement of her deceased husband with the heartless and most gruesome creatures walking among the humans. The dark angels.
A story filled with mystery, secrets and darkness, but also a love, confound to the absolute greatest extend…

‘Ena could still not comprehend her feelings, because with every step that closed the distance between them, it was as if the atmosphere around her grew more familiar. She didn’t know how to describe it, but somehow, she just knew, from that moment, that this man was important to her.’

If it had been within the bounds of possibility,
To foresee the means of deception,
Then by no manner is it worthy of the name.

When darkness diligently pursues to consume Ena, and she finds herself unable to escape the path she has been destined for, the fear of losing herself forever is the greatest concern they were all facing, because her ability to be truly evil also has the ability to erase everything good from this world.
Angel and Lucas are forced to work together to save the woman they both love. If only love in itself could have been enough.

‘She could only watch as the needle penetrated her flesh, and the realization unlocked all the fear and nervous tension that she had ever kept hidden within. She stared into the livid face, the wide, maddening eyes of the foe, which will soon be her ally.’
