The Devil’s Kiss

Fifteen-year-old Billi Sa Greal never meant to make history. Inducted into the modern-day remnant of the Knights Templar at age ten by her father, Billi’s the first girl ever to be a Templar. Her life is a disciplined round of weapons’ practice, occult lore, and a heck of a lot of bruises, but Billi would happily settle for being a normal high-school girl rather than a secret warrior out to defeat the Unholy.

When she meets seductive, exciting Mike, Billi is dazzled. At last here is someone she can confide in. But Michael is not just a heart-breaker, he’s an archangel with a terrifying agenda. As the Templars ready for combat, it’s clear that Billi’s destiny is interwoven with that of Michael. Now she must choose who she wants to be. If she chooses the path of a true Templar, living out her terrifying heritage, it will destroy everything that matters to her. And there are some things, as Billi will discover, that are much, much worse than death . . .
