Behind The Wall

JayDax

She woke up in chains. She didn't know her name. She didn't know why she was there. She didn't know what she was. All she knew was the stone. The dark. The forty-three cracks in the ceiling. When two hunters break down the door of her cell, she is dragged into a world she has no memory of. A world of demons and angels, of ancient sigils and supernatural hunters who keep the monsters hidden from the rest of humanity. Josh wants to protect her. His brother Ben wants to know what she really is. And she isn't sure the answer is something any of them are ready for. Because the chains that held her weren't just iron. They were a wall. Built inside her mind by someone powerful enough to erase everything she was. And behind that wall is something older and stranger than any of them know. Something with wings.
