And there will come a time, you'll see, with no more tears
And love will not break your heart, but dismiss your fears.
Get over your hill and see what you find there
With grace in your heart and flowers in your hair.
And now I cling to what I knew
I saw exactly what was true
But oh no more.
That's why I hold,
That's why I hold with all I have.
That's why I hold.
-- After The Storm, Mumford and Sons
Isobel, a
Messenger for the
Faithful Angels, is given an important message to deliver.
Asher is sent to intercept and
eliminate the message regardless of the costs.
After a
horrendous accident, Isobel wakes up in an unknown town surrounded by unknown people and worst of all, she has
no memory of who she is. She carves out a
solitary life for herself, hoping that her dangerous past - one that left her
alone and broken in the middle of nowhere - would not catch up with her.
When Asher
fails at his mission the first time he is given another change at
redemption but instead of swiftly carrying out his orders, he finds himself pulled in by the fierce independence and equally fierce tenderness that make Isobel an
unlikely target. Now, he questions the order he's been given, the Angels who gave him the orders and even his
own values as they all contradict the messages from his heart.
(BooYA! Like with I did there? "...messages from his heart". Heh. I gotta come up with a less gag-worthy line...)
