Why Read This?The one-sentence sell. What do you get for showing up to this book, even when it's hard?

Armentrout at her banteriest—Trinity is a snarky, fierce heroine losing her sight but never her fight, and her chemistry with brooding Warden Zayne will have you clutching your Kindle through every demon battle.

Synopsis

The stunning beginning to the New York Times bestselling Harbinger series. Meet Trinity Marrow, a girl with an explosive secret whose hiding place has just been discovered… Eighteen-year-old Trinity Marrow may be going blind, but she can see and communicate with ghosts and spirits. Her gift is the reason she’s been in hiding for years in a compound guarded by Wardens—shape-shifters who protect humankind from demons. If the demons discover the truth about Trinity, they’ll devour her to enhance their powers. When Wardens from another clan arrive with reports that something is killing both demons and Wardens, Trinity’s world implodes. Not the least because one of the outsiders is the most annoying and fascinating person she’s ever met. Zayne has secrets of his own—but working together becomes imperative once demons breach the compound and Trinity’s secret comes to light. To save her family and maybe the world, she’ll have to trust Zayne. But all bets are off as a supernatural war is unleashed…

At a Glance

Classic JLA with the tension dialed up to eleven. Trinity is refreshingly authentic as a disabled protagonist—her progressive vision loss (retinitis pigmentosa, which the author herself lives with) is woven into the story with care, not as a plot device but as part of who she is. The enemies-to-allies-to-more arc with Zayne crackles, and the worldbuilding (Wardens, demons, gargoyles) is richly layered without being overwhelming. Fair warning: this ends on a cliffhanger that will make you immediately grab book two.
