Angular features. Freakishly tall, with pale, unnerving, colorless eyes. He moved unlike anyone I’d ever seen. He couldn’t possibly be human. He had to be one of them. Allie only ever glimpsed Seers at a distance, usually in sex clubs, or on the leash of the wealthy and powerful of San Francisco. Fascinating, beautiful, deadly, Seers existed totally outside the sphere of ordinary humans. You had to be rich to own a Seer. You had to be rich to get anywhere near one. Allie’s more focused on getting her mom to a therapist, keeping her friend, Cass, out of crap relationships, and making enough money so they don’t lose the house. When Revik first shows up at the diner where she works, she assumes he’s just some weirdo with an odd fixation on her. But Revik tells her dark, anti-human Seers run everything, and they’ve targeted Allie. They believe she will free their people from enslavement. They believe she will kill all the humans. They believe she will destroy the world. Now she’s on the run, the police have her family and friends, and the only person left is an uncommunicative, probably-terrorist Seer with a frightening ability with a gun. * Psychic suspense. Apocalyptic. The first chapter in an epic, soul-crushing, world-spanning science fantasy that can get dark, dark, dark… but also contains a lot of light. Every book ends on a completed arc. **NOTE: A different version of this novel was previously titled “Rook” THE BRIDGE AND SWORD SERIES is a dark, gritty psychic warfare epic from a USA TODAY and WALL STREET JOURNAL bestselling author. Set in an alternate version of Earth where a second race of beings called “Seers” live alongside humans, this is for fans of romantic, character-driven science fiction and fantasy worlds, filled with twists and turns and backstabbing betrayals, with heroes and villains who are often the same people.
