Raphael’s parents confer with Norum, the family member most attuned to sight of the future, to uncover their son’s fate.

Cherosh and Ekeriel meet up with fellow citizen of Hell, Manuel, and discuss what is happening with Cherosh’s brother, Raphael.

In a world where Heaven and Hell are no longer simply good and evil places for a soul to go after death, dying isn’t a big issue—at least not to the larger clans of magically gifted families. Still, magic and Hell are regarded as dangerous, and there is no guarantee a soul can come back from the afterlife. Raphael, a member of the Seiphar Clan, has been experiencing a hard time at school lately. While a trio of black-winged angels is guarding him, and his family is trying to figure out what exactly is endangering his life, he slowly begins discovering sides of himself he never thought possible.
