Torment

　　為什麼你寧願放棄一切，只為了愛我？

　　第一次，露西召喚了暗影。
　　她在暗影裡看到過去的前世，所有丹尼爾不願告訴她的事。

　　露西再也不確定，這分糾纏了千年的真愛，
　　是她此生最美好的禮物，
　　還是永遠停不下來的詛咒。

　　天使間的休戰協定為期18天。

　　在這18天裡，隨著露西此生未死的消息傳開，施瑪林二十四位長老派出的刺客、流放者天使都將追蹤露西的下落，並致她於死地。

　　為了保護露西──也讓她有機會瞭解自己每一世的故事與任務──丹尼爾與坎恩共同決定將她隱藏在專收墮落天使與人類後代的「拿非林」學校：雪蘭中學。露西將在這裡受到屏障與保護，而丹尼爾與坎恩將守護在外，對所有來意不善的闖入者格殺勿論；那些想要對她不利的黑暗勢力，將無法傷害露西。

　　而在雪蘭，露西終於有機會瞭解那些跟著她大半輩子的暗影究竟代表著什麼，並發現如何利用它們、一窺自己的前世。

　　露西深入挖掘得愈多，愈發現那無數個前世是解開她「未來」謎團的唯一線索，而那也是丹尼爾不肯親口向她揭露的事。

　　但是，萬一他口中的過去，跟她看見的並不一樣呢？

　　萬一，露西的真命天子，可以是另外一個人呢？

　　Hell on earth.

　　That’s what it’s like for Luce to be apart from her fallen angel boyfriend, Daniel.

　　It took them an eternity to find one another, but now he has told her he must go away. Just long enough to hunt down the Outcasts─immortals who want to kill Luce. Daniel hides Luce at Shoreline, a school on the rocky California coast with unusually gifted students: Nephilim, the offspring of fallen angels and humans.

　　At Shoreline, Luce learns what the Shadows are, and how she can use them as windows to her previous lives. Yet the more Luce learns, the more she suspects that Daniel hasn’t told her everything. He’s hiding something─something dangerous.

　　What if Daniel’s version of the past isn’t actually true? What if Luce is really meant to be with someone else?

　　The second novel in the addictive FALLEN series . . . where love never dies.

　　本書中譯版《墮落天使 2 試煉》由三采出版。
