As a gift to his favorite archangels, The Old Man created
the four archesses, who then fell to Earth. The archangels
have been waiting generations to find their archesses, but
other factions were not pleased with The Old Man's gift,
and want the archesses for their own, either just to
possess them so the archangels cannot, or for their gifts.
Ever since being seen healing someone when she was young,
Ellie Granger has been on the move, hiding from those who
would hurt her for her gift. Little does she know, her
adversaries are more manipulative than she thinks and have
been trying to weave themselves into her life for a long
time. Her suspicions make it hard for her to trust handsome
actor Christopher Daniels, the name used by archangel
Uriel, the former Angel of Vengeance. Uriel knew that
connecting with his archess would not be easy, but he
didn't think it would be quite this difficult, with
situations producing battles, manipulation, and contracts
that should be read very closely.
I don't want to give spoilers for this awesome start to a
great series. The twists and turns are part of the
experience, and the characters are fantastic. Not only does
the author do a great job with detailing the protagonist
pair, she also develops the other archangels and their
guardian, giving hope for the future books and encouraging
the reader to want to write letters asking for all of the
works at once....
Obviously, themes of trust and power are important in the
work, but so are the ideas of not taking people at face
value. For example, Lilith and Samael are certainly complex
and fascinating characters, as is Max, the archangel's
guardian. However, I'll admit, I'm excited about Azrael's
book, which comes out in January 2013.
When four female angels were created for the archangels Michael, Gabriel, Uriel and Azrael, a chaos spurned by jealousy erupted, and the archesses were secreted to Earth. The four favored archangels followed, prompting a search that has last millennia. But for Uriel, the former Archangel of vengeance, the search ends the moment he lays eyes on Eleanor Granger, his one true arches. Can he protect her from the danger lying in wait for her-and win her heart?
