Synopsis: Greer Sands has a unique talent for seeing glimpses of the future and reading people’s auras, especially those of her friends and neighbors. While at her friend Jenny’s baby shower, Greer is overtaken by a terrifying premonition of a devastating wildfire.
The frightening vision is broken by Jenny, asking Greer to predict the gender of her unborn child. Greer envisions a lovely baby girl, but she also sees black wings hovering over the mother: wings that mean danger, even death. Who would want to harm Jenny?
Meanwhile Greer’s son Joshua is using his own unique talents to try to help his new friend Simon, but a dark figure seems intent on destroying him. Together Joshua and Greer need to follow the clues in their visions—and their hearts— to stop the impending evil before everything they love goes up in flames.
