The Vestige


Book Description

Choose to see the unseen... Julie Stryker has spent her life in the scenic streets of Charleston, South Carolina, bicycling to the local college, working at a coffeehouse, watching her family fall apart and back together. She has plans, dreams-all of which seem out of reach. Then she meets a handsome stranger at work, and she believes her life is on the brink of a much needed change. But after a tragic accident, Julie is whisked away from the only home she's ever known and confronted with a life-altering secret: The end of the world has already occurred and a portion of humankind has been kept oblivious. Tossed into a hidden world of deception, Julie must confront the truth within herself and reveal the government's layers before the end of the world becomes a permanent reality. 1st Layer: What you can see. 2nd Layer: What you know is real. 3rd Layer: What you can neither see nor know is real.




Vestige


Book Description

Before he can return to heaven, she must die. I can walk in the midday sun without melting, so people call me a witch. I’m not—just resistant to heat and cold, a gift I inherited from my mother. And if those morons want me to wield my powers to suck the fever from their sick family members, they should really stop calling me names. Sigh. I’m not popular around here, but I’m useful. However, since my sister’s murder, I can’t focus on my healing duties. I can’t shake the need for revenge. And when a cloaked man enters the infirmary, filling the doorway and glowing like a freaking sun God, I can’t look away. He recognizes me. His gaze licks me from head to toe. Some part of me remembers him too, but the memory slips through my fingers like smoke. Perhaps those rumors of magic are true. Perhaps this terrifying male nobody else can see really is a dark angel. Perhaps he murdered my sister. But his black eyes, hard body, and snaking magic look set to torture me with temptation. I just need to manifest some resistance to that. Dive into this completed trilogy and get your fantasy romance fix now!
