IN THE GARDEN OF LIGHT & SHADOW: THE CHRONICLES OF ADA ST. JAMES

4000 years ago, a rebellion in the Ever brought angels to live among us.

At first, they were worshiped as gods.

But that was not enough.

And in their hunger for power,

Evil claimed their hearts

and made them demons.

Lilavois St. James rose to fight them.

As a member of the Sisters of Light, she swore an oath to use the magic of the moon to battle the demons and defend humankind.

Until one day, she met a demon and fell in love.

And I was born.

My name is Ada St. James, and these are the chronicles of how I came to be and the destiny that awaits me.
