Seventeen-year-old Elizabeth Moon has been dreaming of her murder her entire life, and in those dreams, a dark presence is there, watching. When she returns home to Hauser’s Landing, the very place her father disappeared, she comes in contact with a gorgeous boy named Lev Walker, and it’s not long before she’s falling in love. But there’s something wrong with Lev. When she realizes he’s the eerie watcher in her dreams, she’ll have to discover the truth. Is he a guardian angel or a sojourner, an angel of death who has come to collect her soul?
When I was thinking about a young adult urban fantasy concept, I knew I wanted to work with angels. Then I started picturing this angel who was arrogant, at least as far as mortals were concerned. I knew I wanted to work with the theme of redemption because invariably all my novels go back to that so I decided to make Lev disdainful of mortals, and very much in need of a lesson about compassion and love. That's how Sojourner was born.
