Catching two demon burglars is routine for Gabriel 1089, whoβs one cog in an army of cybernetically modified humans protecting the sky city of Heaven. Until two turns into a twenty-demon ambush. When he wakes up, heβs missing his network-enabled haloβand one of his metal wings.
The down-level junk dealer tending Gabeβs wounds has hands that spark nerve endings he never knew he possessed. But for an angel cut off from Heaven, an attic in Old Trent feels more like a trap than a sanctuary.
Demons on his doorstep are nothing new for Jeff Werth. Ever since they saved his daughterβs legs, theyβve been calling in their marker. In exchange for his servicesβnursing Gabe back to health so they can use him as a pawn in their war with Heavenβtheyβll consider the debt paid in full. Except having a powerless angel at his mercy feeds a rising desire that has him rethinking the deal.
Then the de-haloed Gabe begins having dreams that become visionsβ¦then memories. Until heβs not sure whose side heβs on. Heaven, or the simple family man who healed his broken wingsβ¦and made his heart whole.
