Night Rises — Leslie Claire Walker

Night Sanchez is a player in the unfolding end of the world, balanced on a knife's edge. Something she never wanted to be. The former magical assassin won't run and refuses to hide. Night will do whatever it takes to save the people she loves -- especially her daughter Faith, who carries a sleeping god known only as the Awakened, a ticking time bomb inside of her. Night crafted a truce with the Watchers -- descendants of the fallen angels -- and killed assassins sent by the lethal magicians that trained her, before they could kill her first. But the truce with the Watchers won't hold forever, and the Angel of Death strains at the chains that bind him. Can Night save Faith from the Awakened? Can she prevent the Angel of Death from taking over her will? Can she stop Death from moving the world closer to its doom?
