Clare is in trouble. Anna has taken her to Los Angeles to be a new, unwilling recruit in the war between Lorian and Darian. Determined not to be anyone's pawn, her salvation comes in the form of a rebellious group of Watchers called the Saints. Unsure if she can trust them but without any other allies and alone in L.A., Clare is pulled into a world of revenge, spies, traitors, and more. Above all else, she wonders if she will ever see Daniel, Alex, and the others alive again.
