As always, the eyes of the Republic are everywhere, but
time is running out for this controlling society. Following
the ceremony to select the new Oracle (GUARDIAN, 10/09),
wraiths and shades have been released and are everywhere.
And it looks like Presidential candidate Maximilian
Blackstone is the perfect choice for leading the new world
forward. But not everything is as clear as it seems.
For the chance to return to Heaven, fallen angels Armand
and Baruch have been ordered to assassinate Blackstone. But
things go terribly wrong when Baruch is gravely injured and
held captive in the Institute for Radiation Studies, where
he will undergo horrific experimentation if Armand can't
rescue him.
As a wraith, Theodora lives outside of the system, her
identity never recorded in any databanks. Wraiths are the
lost souls of the world, their actions invisible to the
many eyes of the Republic. Never worrying about the risks,
Theodora takes bounties offered for dangerous
assassinations and uses the funds to provide new lives for
those she loves. When her latest job takes a weird turn for
the worst, she ends up the captive of an irresistible man
intent on making her assist him in his mission. Armand is
not like any being she's ever known, and Theodora is
confused by his motive and how to deal with him. It doesn't
take long before their purposes are intertwined in a
desperate effort to save the world. Soon they find their
hearts, as well as their souls, are also involved. Will
they be able to assist in making the world a better place
before it's too late?
Claire Delacroix concludes her futuristic trilogy
featuring fallen angel heroes in a post-nuclear pre-
Apocalyptic society in exemplary style with REBEL. This
series has been an inspiring breath of fresh air in the
urban fantasy genre, and each book has been a true triumph
of storytelling. I hate to see it end, but I know this
talented author will come up with something else exciting
for us fans of her work.
Having sacrificed his wings in a bid save humanity, fallen
angel Armand has a bold plan to assassinate Presidential
candidate Maximilian Blackstone. When things go awry and
his partner Baruch is gravely injured, Armand fears that he
will fail in his task and forever lose the chance to rejoin
the angels in Heaven.
Theodora is a wraith, a woman who officially doesn't exist.
She lives in the shadows, taking risks to earn the bounty
placed on dangerous assassinations — bounty that buys the
chance at a new life for those she loves. Captured when her
latest hit goes horribly wrong, Theodora finds herself the
prisoner of a strong, arrogant stranger.
Soon enough, these two solitary souls find their missions —
and their hearts — entwined. But in their desperate attempt
to save the world, will they be able to save each other?
