Resisting the cruel, conquering machine of the mighty Terran Empire, the Orion Star Cluster locks its fledgling navy in combat with one of the most brilliant Terran admirals in its history. But Orion's only chance rests with a discovery made by a young imperial cruiser commander named Traci Ganner. In a routine Pirate patrol, Ganner discovers a new world defended by Strike Fighters; a technology neither the Terran Empire nor Orion Clans possess. In a bid to save them both, Ganner devises a cunning plan, a plan that will come with a terrible price. To succeed, she must secretly unleash an unthinkable force and continue to stay one step ahead of everyone until it is time to reveal the truth. She is pitted in a game of wits against the highest levels of Imperial Command, including the Emperor himself, in order to save her own life, and those she cares for.

In a world where security cameras prove what you have done and databases define who you are, the few who know how to manipulate the technology can play God. They can change the future; they can alter the past. They can make big money, they can save the world, and they can get away with murder over and over again.

Two years have passed since The Decision. Two years was all it took for everything to change. Fallen Angels and Demon's roam the Earth as if it were nothing. Angels and Guard's protect humans, not secretly, but in the naked eye where they can watch them and interact with them. Two things that should never have happened. Two things that were 'once upon a time' against the Angelic Law. Alexis has been battling her way around, waiting to finally get through to the Angelic World to find her love, her rock, Gabriel. As the years went on, hope had started to diminish along with her will to trust. Time had become nothing but an object; life had become a blur. But after a visit from an old 'friend' explaining how there was a loop hole in getting into the Angelic World, Alexis finally had a spark of hope inside her... on the other hand she wasn't expecting the man guiding her to Gabriel to be one that had abandoned her in her time of need. The journey she thought would be easy turned into a journey of discovery, ill-fated feelings, war, loss... and a fight for love. In more ways than one... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ *Sequel to Mark of a Fallen Angel
