Publisher's Synopsis
Jeannette doesn't want any part of her special Word Speaker gift. Her Guardian died, not from the war, but from something very human-cancer. Left with a young child and a heart broken beyond repair, Jeannette has no desire to ever draw another Guardian and turns her back on her gifts. On the war.Jameson, second to the Horseman of the Apocalypse known as Pestilence, isn't new to the game. His brother launched them all into the truth when he became a Guardian. Jameson has secretly wished for a Word Speaker ever since. All he wants is to escape the fate written for him, and he envies the happiness all three of his brothers have found.On the run, not from evil but her own life, Jeannette forgets herself and begins to read. When Jameson appears before her, very real and very tempting, she's thrown into a position she didn't ever want to be in again. She can't resist him, even though she wants nothing to do with his kind- Guardians. Jameson must convince Jeannette that they are meant to be, and not just because of the white-hot passion between them. If she can't accept him, he faces a life left alone and no way to fight in a war that his family already has a stake in.
