NOTES

Liam hasn't seen his widow, Becca, in nearly four hundred years and suddenly, there she is, riding her bike past the commuter train he's stuck on with a pixie princess.In the ongoing battle between Light and Dark, Liam is a Shield of Light, a protector of the Balance, and he has been running and hiding from Dark Hunters for over two thousand years. He's not immortal in the usual sense of the word, but he's been reincarnated so many times that his body and mind are slowly breaking down, which is the perfect time for Becca, Dark forces, and an elven bounty hunter to arrive in town.Liam's not the only one in trouble though, because all over the world Shields are dying, the Balance is shifting in Lucifer's favour, and it's all because of the smartphone app from Hell.
