Early Reviewers

An extraordinary YA fantasy, set 1,000 years after scientists discovered the reality of life after death, encroached on Heaven and started an apocalyptic war against the angels.

Now the Earth is a ruined wasteland, and descendants of the original human beings live on in a state of degradation and ignorance. The only hope for the future is a unique friendship between young tribesman Ferren and the angel Miriael. Miriael was shot down in the war and fed mortal food by Ferren, enabling her to survive on the Earth. But now she can never go back up to Heaven - or can she?

A beautiful, compassionate angel named Asmodai visits her in secret and offers her a new means to return. Even though she's thrown in her lot with the tribespeople, she's tempted. Ferren is so focused on building an alliance of tribes against the artificial 'Humen' who rule the Earth, he doesn't notice what's happening. Meanwhile, a new and terrible figure has taken control of the Humen armies. Doctor Saniette's ultimate plan is an invasion of Heaven - but first he wants to capture Miriael, dissect her, analyse her and uncover the mysterious workings of angelic nature.

The consequences will be extreme... for Miriael, for Ferren, for Ferren's friends - and for the world.
