Redemption — Kealohilani Wallace

Can true love triumph over the powers of Hell? And how much of the past can one truly escape? Half-Hearts II: Redemption starts where Half-Hearts (Book One) left off and the story plunges into a desperate fight to end the War for the Kingdoms and restore peace. Heavy prices are paid for seemingly minor mistakes and character flaws -- beloved main characters die. Everything breaks down -- deeper betrayals, worse traps, horrific torture, exposures of true identities, disintegrating relationships, demonic possessions, and life-or-death choices. New characters enter the story as even more Half-Hearts are hunted down and murdered. The Half-Hearts Prophecy is elaborated in cryptic form, hinting at the fates of Alamea and Earth being sealed as each of their suns, as well as their entire galaxies, come into alignment with one another. Like an asteroid hurtling toward an unsuspecting planet, the action in Wallace's second book of the series is thrilling and unpredictable.
