The Archangel of Death is the master of taking human life. But keeping mortals alive? Not exactly Azrael's forte. For thousands of years, Azrael’s greatest enemy has been silent. Leaving him in relative peace for the first time since the great angel war. Now that silence has been broken, and the Morning Star has returned with a dangerous ultimatum: Azrael can join, or watch everything he loves be destroyed. Two lives hang in the balance—Azrael’s beloved human wife, Nadine, and their unborn, part-angel son...Warren. The Archangel is a standalone story that happens three decades before The Soul Summoner begins. It can be read in any order, but it is recommended for this novella to be read later in the series.
