There
are descendants of angels walking among us. Ember is one of them. And
she may be the only hope mankind has as the rapture approaches and evil
rises.
Embers
is an epic paranormal adventure about an eighteen year old girl who
discovers that she's immune to fire and any other injury when she’s in a
horrific car crash that kills her parents. Following a violent episode
with her aunt's boyfriend, Ember flees Ohio to live with an old relative
in the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee. Ember's exuberance at escaping a
bad home life soon turns to trepidation when she finds out that she's a
Watcher, a descendant of angels. While Ember learns about her heritage
and the powers that go along with it, she strikes up friendships with
two young men who live in a frightening walled compound in the forest.
Inexplicitly drawn to one of the men in particular, an impossible
romance develops. But it is cut short when Ember discovers that her new
friends are fighting on the opposite side of a war—one that’s been
raging between two factions of Watchers for thousands of years. When the
compound’s inhabitants threaten the townspeople, Ember takes action,
sealing her fate in the ancient battle of good versus evil—and the
grayness in between. Ember is up to the challenge, until she realizes
that she isn’t only fighting for the lives of the locals and the souls
of her new friends. She also might be one of the few champions who will
make a stand for all of mankind as the rapture approaches and the end of
days begin.
Embers is a dark and gritty YA novel that’s the first book in the series, The Wings of War.
Now Read an Excerpt from The Wings of War
“How can this be? My hands were closer to the flame than yours,
yet mine are all right, and yours are ruined.”
I was confused and weak, yet I was still trying to think rationally. “I need to get you to a hospital.”
“My dear child, I know this is going
to be difficult for you to accept. You
have been conditioned your entire life to not believe the things I’m about to
tell you, but the truth is in front of you.
You can’t deny it now.” Aunt Ila
paused and wrinkled her nose as if she was in pain, but she continued to talk.
“The
fire can’t harm you, because it’s inside of you. It’s part of your essence, your soul. Of
course you know that humans are made up of water, bones, tissue and
organs. And you have all those things in
your body, but the fire is in there too, just hiding. But it is in there just the same.” She poked her bloody finger into my belly.
“That’s why you weren’t injured during that horrible accident. All the others had to try to explain it away
somehow, but you knew the truth in your heart all along. You just couldn’t face it or didn’t know how
to. You were in the fire and the only
thing it did was make you stronger. You
are what you are and you can’t deny it.”
Her voice was soft, yet it boomed in
my head.
In a shaky voice I asked her, “What am I?”
“A Watcher, my dear—you are a
Watcher.”
