Summarize your story in 75 words or less.

A fugitive on the mortal plane, Syfriana Seraphina has no choice but to feast on the adoration of mortals to survive. But after an encounter goes horribly wrong, she has to choose; run to save her skin at the price of her soul, or stay and risk running afoul of the dominion angels hunting her. Either choice could damn her, if she isn’t beyond redemption already.
