Descendants of angels are going missing. The evil that has been waiting in the shadows has grown strong enough to step into the light. But not everyone knows about the lurking danger, not even those who stand closest to it.
Treadon Nelson, captain of the football team, has enemies on his own side determined to destroy his senior year, but when he meets a mysterious girl, Ellie, who can influence the minds of others, he discovers the threat extends beyond the football field. Treadon learns the Descendants of Angels live among us and the Unguarded are being hunted and taken. Ellie knows the hunters are coming for her, but Treadon can't figure out why she won't accept his help or his affection.
When Ellie disappears, Treadon's search for her reveals an age-old war, a traitor, and a familysecret. If Treadon can't find her in time, Ellie will die, but if he does, he will face an enemy far more powerful than he ever imagined and risk bringing the hunters to his own front door.
