As Aaliya and her friends are thrown into the public eye, her world falls apart; Arael is called to duty, Daniel leaves with no explanation and Sophia is strangely calm about it.
A new friend named Sariah enters her life, but is violently taken from her. As Aaliya searches for Sariah, the world grows darker; bats swarm the skies, crows appear in odd places and shadow-like spirits lurk in broad daylight.
Aaliya is vulnerable, alone and doesn't trust the most important people in her life. To overcome the darkness, Aaliya must first fight her most dangerous battle.

This second installment was another brilliant tale in Aaliya's world. I couldn't put this book down. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to read something original and fascinating! Can't wait for the third book in this trilogy.
