This book charts the life of Aislinn and how she lives through an apocolyptic event here on Earth. The world and life as we now know it has ended. Dark creatures now walk the Earth . Alien beings that closely resemble fabled demons. For the past three years they have systematically destroyed any human life that does not possess magic that they can use . These Dark Ones killed Aislinns father and she has subsequently aligned herself with the Lemurians who say they seek to help destroy the evil Dark Ones. Trusting no one Aislinn finds herself alone as more and more humans are needlessly slaughtered.Left to face a world with little comfort Aislinn finds herself begrudgingly working alongside the Lemurians . Her only wish now  is to survive long enough to eradicate the aliens that have obliterated so many lives. She finds herself sent on a mission and as her journey takes her to new places discovers that she has more magic then she previously thought. She is  befriended by a wolf Rune, who bonds with her and helps to show her that their is still hope left in this new world.Aislinn is not alone in wanting the aliens vanquished and encounters Fionn a gorgeous man who has magical abilities the likes of which Aislinn has never believed possible. Dare she trust him and this madness between them?  Or worse still will her own heart betray her? Aislinn will need all her courage to face the challenges that lie ahead and one thing is certain defeat is not an option.I was absolutely blown away by this book. I read the beginning and thought I knew exactly what to expect from this story but was completely astounded!  Aislinn the heroine is such a strong character even though at  times it's almost impossible to believe that anyone could go through her trials and survive. Everything and everyone she loved is gone and yet her tenacity and will power drive her on. What started out as a desolate tale of a world destroyed by Aliens morphed into a book full of magic, mythology and above all else hope.The writing is superb and as usual from this gifted author the romance was a sensual delight. Hot yes but gratuitous? No. This is a story that gripped this reader and I can only hope that the follow up to it will be available soon.An absolutely amazing book and heartily recommended
