She told herself it was simply the light reflecting off the snow in a peculiar way. That it couldn’t possibly be true. She told herself this as she walked the thirty minutes to her apartment and as she showered. She told herself this as she climbed the stairs to the flat roof of the apartment building, as she did every evening. But as she lay on her back, staring at the stars and the place she once called home, she couldn’t deny the fact any longer. She knew it was true; she felt it within the deepest corners of what was left of her broken soul. She’d seen Jordan’s wings. Jade Hillcrest is an angel. But she did something terrible, something worthy of a punishment worse than death. SHe had her wings torn off and she was thrown to earth to live a depressing life as the First to Fall. Nothing, no one could ever make her feel alive again. But Jade does find something, someone. Jordan Knight is also an angel, sent to earth to observe Jade and ensure she never recovers from the Darkness. But when he makes a fatal mistake and suffers the Tearing as well, it sparks something in Jade that pushes her to take action against the officials who took her most precious possession from her. And so begins the uprising. All rights reserved, 2015 ©
