He was there when the stars were born. His eyes saw the gates of Heaven, the brilliance of the Cherubim, and the splendor of the Almighty. Yet of all creation, nothing compared to Marah, the woman he loved.
Saruel, a fallen angel, weaves a tale of blasphemy and reverence, of forbidden love and eternal loss. Once exalted among the Watchers, he now walks the earth burdened by memory and bound by desire. When he learns of humanity's coming destruction, he must choose between Heaven's command and the life of the one he cannot forsake.
Is love a sin worthy of Hell? Can a fallen angel still be redeemed?
Now, in present-day San Francisco, the servants of the cursed Watcher Sangruel, an angel doomed to darkness and thirst for blood, have taken a girl under Saruel's protection. As ancient secrets resurface and the Watchers close in, Saruel must confront his past and the love that defied Heaven itself.
Who is the girl, and how far will Saruel go to keep her safe?
