Ascended (Fallen Guardian Saga #2)

When Vie and Carter set out to complete their mission, neither could have ever imagined being separated from each other. Vie is feeling completely alone in The Gates, just barely going through the motions. Gabriel, her closest friend, tries to distract her with the news of a possible traitor in their own backyard. While Vie longs to be back on Earth with her love, she knows the danger that this traitor could bring, and sets her mind to drawing them out to protect the people she loves. Carter is left alone on Earth clinging to the empty vessel that used to contain his love, unable to let go and move on. Carter starts putting the events of the past few weeks together and realizes something more is going on. All the while Lucian is working up a plan to keep Vivian's soul and get everything he's always wanted, including revenge against Vie and anyone she's ever loved. With both Vie and Carter working to find out what is going on in their respective worlds and defeat Lucian, will they ever be able to find their way back to each other?
