From a dark, twisted abusive past, to a life full of questions and uncertainty… Seventeen year old, Sage Summers had always wished for a better life, anything to escape from the emotional turmoil of her past. She was able to flee from her tormented life. Just when her life was coming together, an accident changed everything. She was held against her will by a gorgeous immortal, a Fallen Archangel, and he called himself her “Watcher”. While being held captive, Sage learns of a new world that she never knew existed. She learns that she wasn't just a damaged human girl; she was something unique, maybe even extraordinary. However, being one of a kind doesn't come without complications. The evil King of Fallen wants to own her; other Fallen Angels want her dead. Sage realizes that she can’t save herself on her own, and that she must learn how to trust others. In the midst of being exposed to the struggles of this new life, Sage falls in love. She struggles with these new feelings, as the vile vivid memories of her past never fade. She undoubtedly feels that he is her soul mate, however he has taken an oath, and if he were to go against that oath, the consequence could be deadly. Sage begins to accept her new life and without her own realization, she grows into a strong person and will fight for what she thinks is right, and for love, regardless of the outcome.

Schooling for five-year-olds in Trinidad and Tobago became compulsory in the mid-60s. She was a frail little girl, nervous about separating from her mother to whom she had an extraordinarily strong attachment--a relationship that developed during her turbulent period of infancy. Her mother took her to school for the first time. She felt detached and abandoned and she struggled to settle into the school routine. At the end of primary school, she was not given a place at a secondary school because she 'failed' to attain the necessary grade in the 11+ Examination- Common Entrance. Her mother, who also could not read, never gave up on her and tenaciously pleaded with a senior teacher of a secondary school for help with admittance. At the beginning of the school term, she was placed in a class but her circumstances made life within the walls of the school increasingly difficult. It became a place where she did not want to be, as she felt most insecure and inadequate. She struggled to achieve while she tried to conceal her pain and insecurities.Failure stared her in the face. She felt defeated. She wanted to run away; she wanted to disappear; she wanted to hide so that she would not have to look into the faces of her parents, her siblings, her classmates and the villagers. Sadly, she found herself slipping into a world of greater desperation and hopelessness. Her parents, sensing the depth of her agony, came to her rescue. It was at that point she decided- against all odds- to defy expectations. She saw a glimmer of hope. Dreaming was once again- possible.
