In a quiet, secluded village, Father Ezra, a compassionate and devout priest, stumbles upon an abandoned infant left on the cold stone steps of his church. Father Ezra takes the child in, raising him with love and devotion as his own with no one else to care for the child and no answers as to who would leave a newborn in such a place. The boy, James, grows up within the church walls, becoming a curious and intelligent child with a deep bond with the priest who raised him. The villagers come, to see James as a symbol of divine providence, and Father Ezra is proud of the boy's kind nature. However, as James reaches adolescence, strange things begin to happen. The boy displays an uncanny strength, a knack for sensing the darkest of thoughts, and at times, his eyes flicker with an unsettling, unnatural gleam. Father Ezra, initially dismissing these oddities, begins to question if James's origins are truly as innocent as they seemed. The tension builds when Father Ezra discovers a hidden truth - James is not human, but a demon born of a dark pact long sealed by forces beyond comprehension. As the full weight of this revelation settles upon him, Father Ezra is torn between his duty to protect the child he raised and the horrifying knowledge that James's very existence is tied to something far more sinister. James caught between his love for the priest and the undeniable pull of his demonic nature, begins to struggle with his own identity. As the village begins to notice the strange occurrences surrounding James, rumors spread, and the priest must decide whether to confront the monstrous reality of the boy's origins or risk losing the child he has come to love as a son. The battle between fatherly love and the ancient darkness that James unknowingly carries within him becomes a fight not only for the boy's soul but for the very fate of the village itself.

A YA Paranormal Romance Seventeen-year-old Seraphina Chen has always been different-prophetic dreams, glimpses of things that shouldn't exist, and a mother who disappeared without explanation three years ago. But when she pulls a dying angel from Eden Falls lake, her quiet life of hiding her abilities shatters completely. Gabriel isn't just any angel. He's a Guardian who was ordered to kill Sera because Heaven views her very existence as a threat to cosmic order. Instead, he chose to fall-giving up his rank, his wings, and his place in paradise to protect a girl he'd never met but couldn't bring himself to destroy. Now earthbound and hunted by his former brothers, Gabriel must help Sera understand the truth about her Nephilim heritage while they're both targeted by celestial assassins. But as their bond deepens from gratitude to something far more dangerous, Sera discovers that her mixed angelic blood makes her more than just a target-she's a weapon capable of rewriting the rules between Heaven and Earth. When the Council of Angels demands Gabriel's return and threatens to eliminate everyone Sera loves, she faces an impossible choice: surrender to a system that wants her dead, or embrace the power that could either save her world or destroy it completely. Fight Between Heaven and Earth is an explosive paranormal romance that explores the space between duty and desire, divine law and human love.

Themes: Forbidden love, identity and heritage, questioning authority, sacrifice vs. choice, finding strength in difference, angel/human dynamics Age Range: 14-18 (Young Adult) Content Notes: Supernatural action sequences, themes of religious questioning, mild violence, intense emotional situations
