Lexi Johns is tired of running for her life and thanks to the group, the Defenders, she no longer has to, since they have given her the tools to fight. They feel the same way she does about the Sentinels, that they are killers without remorse and must die. Her call to Zach, the Sentinel following and tracking her for weeks, is guaranteed to bring him running. Her plan is to get to her friend, Helen, out of the Sentinel's clutches, reverse the brainwashing job and blow them all up. But first Lexi must get over her fear and convince Zach she has given up enough for him to take her with him where his forces are. To her dismay, the more she is with Zach, the more she hears a different side of the history, realizing his actions are not of a killer but someone else altogether.

Zach is running out of time; his tree of life is nearly empty of leaves and the pain due to the power he holds is crippling him. The phone call he receives from Lexi, the Theronia woman he has been chasing all over the county, runs his blood cold. She is frantic and scared, as well as being in serious danger. As he finally lays eyes on her, his relief of getting to her in time is enough to bring him to his knees. Unfortunately, Zach still can't trust Lexi, especially since he can feel her fear of him and his friends. Even though her comments regarding his Sentinel status is largely incorrect and completely out in left field, Zach's desire to protect Lexi and bind her to him is strong. Not only to save his soul, but to fight the war against Synestryn.

What an entertaining and thrilling series! The characters are forever evolving, secrets are revealed, powers are found, new details come to life and love is the cause of it all. I love it!
