an absent father and his security detail. They find themselves settling into
small town life in South Dakota when they meet Kerr Mason and their world turns

Excerpt
Nora was angry. She had taken off running after the prophecies were
done, and hadn’t stopped even though she could feel Dorian behind her. She
didn’t know what she’d been expecting to hear when she received her prophecy,
but it wasn’t a cryptic message about being part of the future. She knew in her
heart that being one of The Evolved may mean ushering in the New Era, but it
also meant ending the lives of the three people who meant the most to her.
Her prophecy hadn’t told her anything she didn’t know. Of course she
thought she was the end, and of course the beginning of the New Era was coming
from her, as well as the other Evolved. Ridiculous. That’s what this whole
prophecy nonsense was, ridiculous.
“Would you slow down?” she heard Dorian yell behind her.
She decided to disobey him for the first time in her life, and pushed
herself to run faster. It was liberating to run through those ancient trees.
She continued to run without a care until she felt the desperation in Dorian’s
pull behind her. She slowed her run to a job, slowed her jog to a walk, and
then stopped all together. Dorian arrived behind her only a moment later.
“Look down.” Dorian said with a hint of anger in his voice.
Nora looked down and realized the ground opened to vast ravine just
beyond where she’d stopped. She rolled her eyes and turned to face Dorian.
“What do you want?” She asked icily.
“About what? About this ridiculous prophecy you just gave me? I have no
interest in talking about it, I’ve already figured it out.” She spat back at
him.
“I don’t think you did. It’s not as simple as you think.” Dorian said
quietly.
Nora didn’t understand how he could possibly be so calm, and almost
happy about this.
“You’re going to die. What part of that don’t you understand? I’m going
to be responsible for ending your life and beginning the New Era. Somehow, even
though there are five of us, it’s all coming from me.” She replied
incredulously.
Dorian smiled warmly at her.
