The Fallen Series # 2
By- Tara S. Wood
Genre- Paranormal Romance/Angels
Six angels once sat at the right hand of The Almighty, but an ill-fated decision cast them out of Heaven. Now they serve Him on Earth, slaying demons for their redemption. They are…The Fallen.
“Remember, angel, all ways in the end return to Me.”
Jude knows pain. He feels it with every inhale and exhale of breath. It is a constant on his mind and on his skin; a reminder of the depth of his disobedience. And his cruelty. With his fall from grace, he walks the Earth with his brothers, their steps set on a shadowed path to redemption, killing demons in His name. The angel of Vengeance may not have his wings, but he still burns.
Coriander Rhodes finds things. The intrepid little archaeologist sniffs out relics buried for eternity with the determination of a bloodhound and the arrogance of the devil. Her brash nature and bold tongue keep the big angel on his toes, inflaming and infuriating him at the same time.
When danger strikes at the heart of the angels’ inner circle, Jude discovers he is faced with a task far greater than he has ever known. The light must be protected at all costs, in all of its forms. The ultimate evil has a plan, and with the most innocent among them at stake, Jude knows he’ll finally have to face his sins and meet the pain in his soul dead on. Coriander’s touch is the only thing that soothes, but is it enough to make him whole? Can she help him work through the pain long enough to remember his faith, or will he be forever…fallen?
Excerpt
Blood and sand
covered his skin in a thick crust of grime and gore. Ash was heavy in the air,
coating his tongue in death as he sucked in a deep breath. The city burned in
angry flames of holy wrath, the orange torrents of fire reaching every corner.
The screams of the dying could still be heard over the crackle and roar of the
fire as it raged its blazing path through stone and flesh.
Lucius looked
down at his blade, black with blood, and then back to the devastation they had
wrought. Four figures emerged from the flames, creating a wide wall of man and
wing, each of them drenched in the same carnage of destruction. It was done.
He closed his
eyes in reverence and a single thought filled his mind. Embrace them, my Lord.
Return them to your fold so that they may seek salvation.
His eyes opened
onto the battle-weary faces of his brothers and gave a heavy sigh of
resignation. So much pain, so much death. But Hammad and his followers were a
threat; his lies spreading like poison, corrupting and defiling, leaving the
innocents to suffer. And He did nothing. Nothing. It was...wrong.
As the last word
formed in his consciousness, Lucius' soul went cold and he realized the line
had been crossed. Forever.
The shocked faces
of his brothers registered for only a second before he felt his wings begin to
burn in agony. The sound of his screams echoed throughout time as the world
went black. He felt the fabric of his existence tear apart and found himself
falling to face the wrath of The Almighty. He started screaming again.

“Relish this moment in My favor. It is your last.”
Six angels once sat at the right hand of The Almighty, but
an ill-fated decision cast them out of Heaven. Now they serve Him on Earth,
slaying demons for their redemption. They are…The Fallen.
Lucius, once revered at the side of God, fell to Earth with
his brothers to pay penance and atone for his lapse in leadership. Wingless and
forsaken, they have all paid a price for their complicity. Lucius’ hubris is
now a curse, and he cannot rest until they carry out the last of The Almighty’s
orders...and stop a war that has been millennia in the making.
Persephone Roberts is always in the right place at the right
time, the serendipity allowing her to help people on her travels. When it leads
her to cross paths with the band of hard-living fallen angels, she sets her
sights on their leader, and is determined to restore Lucius’ faith in their
quest. And in himself.
But the ancient evil the angels strive to fight has put
Persephone in its crosshairs. It will be up to Lucius and his brothers to save
her and destroy the minions of the dark. Can the amber-eyed beauty with her
accepting heart heal wounds that cut soul deep, and force him to reclaim a
glory he once tossed aside? Is he strong enough to realize the path back to
Heaven begins with her, or will he be forever...fallen?
