'With the power he held over me, with our lives connected so inexorably, he knew no one would risk hurting him if it could be avoided. No one but me, that is.' Violet Eden has come to terms with the fact that being part angel, part human, means her life will never be as it was. Now Violet has something Phoenix, the exiled angel who betrayed her, will do anything for and she has no intention of letting it fall into his hands. The only problem ...he has something she needs too. With the help of surprising new allies, ancient prophecies are deciphered, a destination set and, after a shattering confrontation with her father, Violet leaves for the islands of Greece without knowing if she will have a home to return to. While a brutal battle looms, Lincoln and Violet fight to ignore their soul-crushing need to be together. But as the craving reaches new heights, Violet begins to fear how long it will be until the pull becomes unbearable. Not afraid to raise the stakes, Phoenix seemingly holds all the power, always one step ahead. And when he puts the final pieces of the potent prophecy together, it doesn't take him long to realise exactly who he needs in order to open the gates of Hell. Once again Violet faces an impossible choice ...and this time the consequences are unimaginable.
