If Aurelie can claim her first kill, she’ll inherit a legacy passed down through the Chantelune bloodline: a soulbond with Yuriel, an angel whose power is vital to her kingdom’s survival.

But the more they learn about one another and the deeper their relationships grow, the more Aurelie begins to question the war and her place in it.
