The Touch trilogy is Leah Clifford’s debut series, published by HarperCollins across three years. It builds a world where the war between angels and fallen angels plays out through human proxies, and where the supernatural creatures caught between them — the Siders — carry the literal touch of death and damnation.

Eden is one of those Siders, and the series follows her through the escalating conflict between heavenly and fallen forces while centering the personal relationships and sacrifices that give the cosmic war its emotional weight. A Touch Mortal (2011) established the world and its rules, and A Touch Morbid (2012) and A Touch Menacing (2013) pushed those rules to their breaking points.

The series is darker than much of its contemporaries in YA paranormal fiction, willing to inflict genuine consequences on characters and to resist the comfortable resolutions the genre often reaches for.
