Torment

In the gripping second installment of Lauren Kate's bestselling Fallen series, Luce Price, having barely survived the events at Sword & Cross, is whisked away to Shoreline School, a new institution populated by Nephilim—humans with angelic ancestry. Here, Luce hopes to uncover the truth about her past lives and the ancient curse that binds her to Daniel, a fallen angel. At Shoreline, she delves deeper into the mythology of the Fallen, learning about Announcers, shadowy specters that offer glimpses into her previous incarnations. Yet, her quest for answers is complicated by a new threat: the Outcasts, a rogue group of immortals, and the growing suspicion that not all Nephilim are allies. As Luce navigates a world brimming with hidden dangers, deceit, and fragmented memories, she must decide how much of her cursed history she's truly ready to confront, even as she questions her true feelings and identity amidst a looming celestial war.
