They're ambushed and attacked by a vicious group of demon warriors who want their deity alive. They'll do anything for angel blood and they've got them. Three angels, two who are almost as pure as you can get. Balthazar and his team are trying to stop the warriors from collecting the angels and their blood. What he doesn't realise is that the one person he doesn't want to save is his soul-mate. With his walls slowly breaking, will they be able to be together?
