Caspia Chastain is gifted (or plagued, if you ask her) with the ability to draw the future, usually at the worst possible times. Her parents are four years dead; everyday she watches her brother Logan fight his cancer diagnosis.
When an outsider named Ethan appears, determined to protect Caspia and her brother from dangers he wonβt explain, she's not sure what to think. Sheβs seen him before: in a drawing of a frightening future, surrounded by brilliant light, dark wings, and intense violence. It's a future she can only hope won't come true.
But when Caspia finds herself in the middle of a supernatural war, she has no choice but to turn to her self-appointed guardian for help. Together they uncover long buried secrets involving her hometown and bloodline. In a place where Dark doesn't equal evil and Light isn't always good, Caspia and Ethan face strange alliances and even stranger sacrifices to save those they love.
What others are saying:
"It's beautiful and descriptive. She has a gift for choosing the right words. If you enjoy paranormal romance, I would definitely recommend that you read Gifts of the Blood." - Stacey Wallace Benefiel, author of Glimpse and Glimmer
"This book was filled with romance, mystery, adventure. Whatever you are looking for- it's in there and you're sure to be satisfied after finishing it." - Jamie from Sparkling Reviews
"She can turn a phrase like nobodyβs business, giving her descriptions a lilting, poetic quality thatβs telling of her background as a multi-degree student of literature.
Coupled with that, there are some touches of pure genius. The town of Whitfield equals Stars Hollow (from Gilmore Girls) meets Hogwarts. Sound cool? It is." - V.J. Chambers, author of Breathless,Trembling and Tortured
