Imperium Archangelorum

In a fractured empire haunted by fallen angels, Daphne Thiessen has spent her life hidden from the scandal of her mother's beauty and death.

Sent north to serve as a governess at Hightower Hall, Daphne hopes for obscurity. Instead, she finds old hymns, forbidden histories, and a sealed message from the mountains her father forbade her to seek:

The sanctuary remembers the daughter of Teia.

As Cormaril Fortress tightens its grip around her closest friend's arranged marriage, Daphne is drawn into the secrets of House Sangster and into the path of Duncan Sangster, a soldier who looks at her as if she is both danger and prophecy.

Some women are admired. Some are feared. Daphne may have been hidden because she is both.
