What happens when you can’t outrun Hell…or trust the ones you love? If Frannie doesn’t learn fast, the consequences could be devastating-even apocalyptic. Their best defense is the power Frannie has been struggling to master, but her attempts to hone her skill go horribly awry. If Frannie wants to keep her family and friends safe, she knows she has no choice but to go on the run. But when the demons killed Frannie’s best friend and destroyed her brother, they raised the stakes. With the help of the powerful angel Gabe and demon-turned-mortal Luc, Frannie has been able to stay one step ahead of the forces of Hell.
