Mortal Sight

Seventeen-year-old Cera Marlowe has never been able to settle down. Each year on her birthday, she has what she calls “panic attacks” – prophetic visions. And, every year after her birthday, Cera and her mother move to a new town. All Cera wants is a job, friends, and a home – and when she’s offered a well-paying job in their current town, she refuses to move. Little does she know that this one choice will upend her already tumultuous world – allowing her to witness the death of her friend Jess, rather than just foretell it, and exposing her to the dark forces she’s been running from all her life. When she meets the mysterious Maddox at her new school, she begins to learn more about the secrets her mother has kept from her. Most humans – Commons – can only see one plane. The Awakened can see onto a second plane, where angels and demons – known as Cormorants – battle for the fate of the world. Cera realises that she is Awakened and is drawn inexorably into an ancient battle.
