Then Heaven condemns him for a crime he did not commit.
Stripped of his rank, cast into the mortal world, and abandoned by the Creator he trusted, the former Angel of Death wakes wounded, furious, and very human—with a knife at his throat and a nervous stranger trying to help him.
Adrian is not what Cassiel expects.
Small, stubborn, scarred by his own past, and far too compassionate for his own safety, Ari gives the fallen archangel shelter when he has nowhere else to go. Cassiel calls him Little Sparrow. Ari calls him impossible. Neither expects the fragile arrangement between them to become the first thing that feels like home.
But exile did not erase Cassiel’s enemies.
The accusation that destroyed him was built on a lie, and the celestial betrayal behind it is not finished. As demons, old grudges, and dangerous truths close in, Cassiel’s growing attachment to Ari becomes both his greatest weakness and the one thing he refuses to surrender.
He has already lost Heaven once.
He will not lose his Sparrow.
And if the forces that framed the Angel of Death believe mortality has made him harmless, they are about to discover how dangerous an angel can become when he finally has someone worth fighting for.
