Even angels have to answer for their sins. I'm Cora Marek, and I've royally screwed up. I failed my semester final and exposed the angels and demons to the human world. Luckily, the Alliance is giving me a chance to fix things. If I go on record stating it was all a hoax, I'll be free to return to Harris Academy. But I'm not sure I've made the right choice. War is mounting outside the academy. The humans are afraid of us, and they want to take us down. If only we could show them they don't have to be afraid. But Kellan--my partner and the guy I'm hopelessly pining for--insists exposing ourselves is a mistake. My heart's being pulled in two different directions. But I know I have to do what's right--even if our world goes up in flames.
