By day, Evelyn Cross pulls espresso shots in a dying town. By night, she hunts the things that made it that way. Ashford pities her-the girl who survived the fire that killed her mother. Nobody knows that the ex-soldier who dragged her from those flames has spent five years turning her into a weapon, or that together they track the demons slipping through the cracks of a town that stopped looking. Evelyn has always known she's different. She heals too fast. Hits too hard. Survives what should break her. But when people start disappearing and demons begin wearing the same burned symbol-whispering her name-she realizes the monsters aren't circling the town. They're circling her. The Ashen Veil's attacks feel less like battles and more like experiments: measuring her limits, pushing her fear, testing something inside her she doesn't understand. Her mentor is keeping secrets. Her blood refuses to behave. And when a stranger with storm-grey eyes steps out of the dark claiming to know what she is, her carefully controlled world fractures. To save the people she loves, Evelyn will have to face what really burned the night her mother died-and what's been waking inside her ever since. Because the Veil isn't trying to kill her. They're trying to open her.Rebel of the Forsaken: First Spark launches a dark urban fantasy trilogy-Supernatural meets Buffy, driven at Dresden Files pace.
