In this, Luce learns that Daniel loves her more deeply than she ever imagined. He makes sacrifices to earn her love again and again. Instead, in each life, Daniel wins Luce over. From there, Luce learns that in every reincarnation, her soul is automatically drawn to Daniel's and Daniel could have taken advantage of that seemingly mindless admiration. Luce goes through many different transitions, first feeling that Daniel is attracted to her simply because of the curse, not because he actually loves her. In each of these short visits, Luce struggles to discover the meaning behind her deaths and the truth of her love for Daniel. Throughout the novel, Luce travels to various times in her history, ranging from Moscow, 1941 to the literal beginning of history at Heaven's Gate, moments before the angels' fall. Luce's friends from school, Shelby and Miles, are also attempting to locate Luce but being Nephilim - the offspring of fallen angels and humans - their time traveling skills are clumsy at best, creating extremely dangerous situations for all history. Although their motives aren't entirely clear, it is understood that if they find Luce before Daniel does, it could have grave consequences. But Daniel is not the only one in search of Luce many of the other fallen angels, and Cam, a demon, race through time trying to track her down.
If she makes one false move, she could alter history forever, potentially killing herself for good. He knows that what Luce is doing is extremely dangerous. Meanwhile, Daniel is also traveling through time trying to find Luce. Although Luce is skeptical, she decides to partner with Bill in the hopes that he will speed her quest along. As Luce sprints blindly through time, she meets a small gargoyle named Bill who claims to have all the answers Luce needs, if she will let him travel with her.
All Luce knows is that with every death, she is separated from her lover, Daniel, who follows her through eternity, falling in love with her again and again, in every lifetime. Luce is cursed to die every seventeen years and be reincarnated, but she has no idea what causes her continual deaths. At the opening of the novel, Luce is running blindly through time, using Announcers as portals to her past lives.
