Publisher's Synopsis
Orphan Selene Nightshade is about to turn 18 when a mysterious man named Derek Hoffman moves in next door. The vine-like tattoos on his arms begin to haunt her dreams, and a voice in the nightmares-his voice-warns her that danger is coming. Soon she begins developing strange abilities, like psychometry, and has to face Derek with her questions. He tells her the startling truth- She is an Ascender, one of thirteen Races of Immortals evolved from God's Angels and Drakonae, and she is in danger. With Armageddon on the rise, Selene and Derek must face the one person that can destroy the future of the Races; an Ascender turned evil, he is called the Deceiver. The Deceiver is the Antichrist, born to destroy mankind and the Realm of Immortals and raise Lucifer from his cage in Hell. When the Deceiver's true face is revealed, nothing will ever be the same."
