An
army of angels walk among us. They have kept us safe and ignorant, so
far.
Earthbound
for centuries and ruled by the Elders, they have established hidden
cities, a society and The Code: obey your Elders, kill all demons,
eliminate Rogue-angels, protect the mortals, remain hidden. Their
warriors are the ungifted earthborn angels armed with blades and the
‘borrowed magics’ of distilled angel-blood tattoos.
Alyxandria
is a young warrior with a fondness for customized knives and illegal
night-races. If only she could overcome the taint of her parents who
abandoned her to become Rogues.
When
Alyx saves Israel, a gifted mortal with a past, she is forbidden to
see him again. But she can’t help herself, drawn to him through
their Guardian-bond, an ancient and long-forgotten bond; if he dies,
she dies.
An
encounter with a handsome Rogue leaves Alyx questioning all she has
been taught to believe. Alyx begins to dig into the Elders’
secrets. Two thousand years of secrets that begin with the death of
the Archangel Raphael. She is not prepared when she uncovers an
Elder’s dark plan.
Somewhere
on earth is a key to unlock hell. Somewhere on earth are pieces of an
amulet that controls Lucifer and his army. Somehow Israel is the link
and now both sides are after him. Who can Alyx trust when Good and
Evil is no longer clear?
The
war for earth begins.
EXCERPT:
“This
is going to sound crazy.” She presses her palm to her forehead.
He
laughs softly. “Remember who you’re talking too.”
“Right,”
she says. “I think it’s time I admitted some things to you. But
you have to promise not to freak out or get angry before I finish,
okay?”
“Okay.”
“Remember
the last time we met, you asked me how I happened to come by the
alley in time to save your life…”
“A
lucky coincidence.”
“It
wasn’t. I knew you would be there, I knew you were being attacked.”
Israel
frowns. “How?”
Alyx
takes a deep breath - no
turning back now
-
and
begins to tell him about her visions of him. Then to prove she isn’t
lying she describes each one.
“Let
me get this straight,” he says. “You see things through my eyes?”
“Essentially,
yes. That’s how I knew where to find you then. And tonight.”
“Do
you hear my thoughts as well?”
“Just
whatever thoughts you have at the time.”
“That
is...” his eyes blaze at her, “...so frickin’
cool.”
Her
mouth parts as she sucks in air, realizing that she has been holding
her breath. “You think so?”
“Think
about it Alyx. You have been inside my body, felt my heart beating as
if it were your own, felt how I feel, thought as I thought. You know
what it’s like for me.” He leans forward as he speaks, grabbing
her hands. “You don’t just know me, you know
me.”
Alyx
swallows, hard. His eyes have a way of making her feel like she is
underdressed. Alyx wonders for a moment whether he can see inside her
as she does him.
