The Order of Angel warriors have a mission to take him down, but many have died or joined the enemy. When Evangeline's team is ensnared in a web of deception, she has no choice but to form an alliance with King Victus, a vampire ruler with a reputation for killing angels. Can the two set aside the past and take down Asmodeus? Or will they turn on each other first?Michael is a half-breed angel who wants no part of the nonhuman world. However, his immense power makes him a target. King Asmodeus wants him to join his army, and so does Order of Angels, but Michael dreams of settling down, not going to war. He may not have a choice. When his family's lives are at stake, he'll have to pick a side or lose everything.

Treachery and lies pave the road to the truth. Prince Merrick, Idris, and their companions flee from Dumonia and seek refuge with Elora, the empress of Whisterfield Empire. There they discover the history of their world and their true bloodline. Allies and enemies will emerge from other empires when they find out Idris and her band of orphans are in Cambria, the first kingdom, as they plan for Uther Pendragon's descendant to claim the throne. In order to have any chance of competing with Ravana's beasts, they must construct their own creatures using magical moonstones gifted by the Ladies of the Lake. But no one will be prepared for the army Ravana has forged from the Tree of Life and Death.

When a group of angels known as nephilim-half human, half angel-had been found by the Royal Council, they were taken to Halo City. Instead of cleansing the Earth with a flood, which had been done before, the Royal Council created a place just for this group of angels. Upon meeting the alkins, a particular one by the name of Davin, refused to give up on helping Michael deal with his struggles. Together, they discovered a strange being that would appear at the Crossroads at unexpected times. Souls wandering there is nothing new, but this one aged as time passed. Mystified, they both searched for answers while refraining from telling the Twelve about her. Who is this being that has enraptured Michael's attention? And will Michael finally forgive himself and find the happiness that he yearns to have?

Having happily ever after is never easy when evil lurks nearby. The fallen coming out of hiding is not a big concern, until Dantanian. Being one of God's first fallen angels, he is the evilest of his kind and concocts evil schemes to get Michael's attention. With Michael and Claudia's happiness on the line, the venators and the alkins must work together once again to save their friends. As death draws near to those captured by Dantanian, will the gang reach them in time? Or will Michael return to the dark angel he once was and destroy everyone he loves?

The Twelve, known as Divine Elders on Earth, are very much involved when they find out evil is lurking in the shadows and Claudia is no longer safe. As more secrets are revealed, Claudia learns about the venators--demon hunters--on Earth.When two opposing angelic forces come together to protect Claudia, trust becomes a big issue. Will love be enough to keep Claudia and Michael together? Who will make the ultimate sacrifice? Who will betray them all?
