The girl knows she's different. She doesn't age. She has no family. She has no clear clues about who she really is, or her name. But there is a face in her dreams - a light that breaks through the darkness. She knows his name is Gabriel. One night, she encounters an injured stranger named Jonah, who belongs to a generation of vampires that is threatened by darker forces. His kind are fighting with help of unlikely allies - archangels. Including one named Gabriel. In the crossfire between good and evil and life and death, the girl learns her name: Lailah. Where does she belong Gabriel and Jonah both want to protect her. But Lailah will have to fight her own battle to find out who she truly is.
"Just when we thought the vampire fad was overplayed and finally vanquished, Kelly slams readers with an exciting new world . . . Vivid and cleverly crafted, this novel will appeal to fans of Julie Kagawa's The Immortal Rules and Courtney Allison Moulton's "Angelfire" series, who will celebrate this new heroine of extraordinary strength." --School Library Journal
