What’s inside...
What if you woke up one day to find out that you aren't an ordinary girl living in an ordinary world? Instead, you are an angel in a human body, and both sides of the fence are fighting, trying to pull you to their side. But, what is good and what is evil are reversed, and what you would normally believe are the bad guys are really the good guys. Follow Sophie as she tries to come to terms with her angelic self and relearn everything about her oversoul, including the secrets of her heart, as the heavenly war wages on between the factions of angels, her brother and sisters, and the love of her life, Incaendiel.
