House Of Legions (The Angel Descendants book 1)

Clare shot him a wicked look, before they started the journey into the forest, both of them carrying the stuff from the trunk.

Silence thick as the tension in the air, they walked deeper into the forest. When the vehicle exploded, she jumped by the shock and vibration of the ground, and with it came the brutal and horrifying reality, of her situation. She was stuck! Now blindly, having to trust strangers and this man who laid a serious claim of being the one person she’d hoped to find for eight long years, her father.

There was something not right with it, something she knew she was missing. The feeling so potent and strong that she could physically feel it kicking and screaming in her mind with a powerful rage.

Noticing his clenching hand as it balled in a tight fist around the packet handles, unwanted images of Barbatos holding her mother’s heart while it dripped of blood, invaded her frontal lobe. It was like the world spun at an unusually fast pace, but as much as she tried to join in she was standing still, an
