#1 New York Times bestselling author Kelley
Armstrong begins her new series with Omens,
featuring a compelling new heroine thrust into a decades-old
murder case and the dark mysteries surrounding her strange
new home.
Twenty-four-year-old Olivia Taylor
Jones has the perfect life. The only daughter of a wealthy,
prominent Chicago family, she has an Ivy League education,
pursues volunteerism and philanthropy, and is engaged to a
handsome young tech firm CEO with political ambitions.
But Olivia’s world is shattered when she learns that
she’s adopted. Her real parents? Todd and Pamela Larsen,
notorious serial killers serving a life sentence. When the
news brings a maelstrom of unwanted publicity to her adopted
family and fiancé, Olivia decides to find out the truth
about the Larsens.
Olivia ends up in the small
town of Cainsville, Illinois, an old and cloistered
community that takes a particular interest in both Olivia
and her efforts to uncover her birth parents’ past.
Aided by her mother’s former lawyer, Gabriel Walsh,
Olivia focuses on the Larsens’ last crime, the one her birth
mother swears will prove their innocence. But as she and
Gabriel start investigating the case, Olivia finds herself
drawing on abilities that have remained hidden since her
childhood, gifts that make her both a valuable addition to
Cainsville and deeply vulnerable to unknown enemies. Because
there are darker secrets behind her new home and powers
lurking in the shadows that have their own plans for her.
