India Powell doesn't know what made her hit the road a day after her eighteenth birthday. Maybe it's the fact she has aged out of foster care and has no ties. Whatever is driving her remains nameless until she is stranded in a small desert village where she meets Elijah. The arrogant prophet informs her she is one of a few chosen young women, a Destined, called to fight the Dark.
Conscripted, she is trained by four immortal warriors who have their own story to tell—a story she is fascinated by when she isn't scoffing at her own destiny and seeking a way out. Without finding one, she resigns herself to battling the minions of the Dark, doubting she has the ability.
But events in India's life have consistently derailed, and why would this be any different?
