A divine war rages relentlessly just beyond the human senses. It was predicted that a time of darkness was to befall the world. In an attempt to keep it at bay, light was manifested into a child that had not yet left the womb. El Roi, the founder and chief justice of Azure, marked Keturah Rachel Adams at birth to serve as a bringer of light, hope and change to a world that needed it most. Belial, sinister evil opposite of El Roi, attempts to destroy Keturah from the moment she is born and assigns the master of darkness, Daegon, to carry out his mission. In anticipation, El Roi delegates his most powerful warrior, Malakh, to watch over the girl.
Born and raised in the impoverished, crime-filled Fifth Ward, she wants nothing more than to escape the daily dangers she faces. The outside threats are bad enough, but even worse when they occur within the home. Aspirations of a political career seem worlds away from her reality of dodging an abusive stepfather without any help from her immoral mother. Keturah’s vision of the future is nothing like the dark, scary past that occasionally haunts her sleeping form. It is a bright vision, infallible… until a series of tragedies and terrible events including murder and attempted rape start to plague her life.
Trust is replaced with distrust. Hopefulness is replaced with fearful hopelessness. Prestige is wrongly replaced with accusations and infamy. Love is replaced by heartbreak. What she doesn’t know, is that a force of darkness trails and follows behind her… and he intends to snuff out that bright gleam of light within her—no matter what it takes.
Just as Keturah is named salutatorian of her graduating class and receives a full academic scholarship to Princeton, heartbreaking tragedy rips her world apart. She is taken in by a family with a surprising connection to her, and begins to slowly rebuild her life with their support. In the process, she forms a deep bond with their son, Prince-Malachi. Keturah believes the worst is behind her as she regularly makes the Dean’s list and grows even closer to Prince-Malachi. But Daegon hasn’t given up. An enemy with a vendetta resurfaces from the Fifth Ward, Keturah is accused of murdering her college roommate and, to top it all off, Prince-Malachi leaves the country to get away from her. How can she be considered a light in darkness while fighting so many wars? What will it take to finally destroy Daegon and his agents of evil so she can be free to live her dreams?
