Once upon a time, an angel and a devil fell in love. It did not end well... Around the world, black handprints are appearing on doorways, scorched there by winged strangers who have crept through a slit in the sky. And in the tangled lanes of Prague, a young art student named Karou is about to be caught up in a brutal, otherworldly war. When a stranger - beautiful, haunted Akiva - fixes his fire-colored eyes on her, the result is a star-crossed love whose roots drink deep of a violent past. From master storyteller and National Book Award finalist Laini Taylor comes a sweeping and gorgeously written modern fantasy about a forbidden love, an ancient and epic battle, and hope for a world remade.
