Born of Fire and Dies Irae

Together in a special edition paperback, Compass Press brings you Born Of Fire by Heather McCorkle and Dies Irae by Christine Fonseca. BORN OF FIRE (includes a new short, Aiden & The Dragon): The story of the night Aiden was born has never been told, until now. Fleeing the Hunters, Kevan and Shannon O'Reilly find their way to Spruce Knoll Colorado, assuming they'll be safe in America. Their unborn son is special, even for a druid, or a channeler as the American's like to call their kind. But why the Hunters, people who are sworn to keep their kind safe, are after them is a mystery. All they know is that if they don't outrun them they'll be killed. Trouble has followed them to Spruce Knoll and just when it seems it may be too late, they discover the true reason why. DIES IRAE: Mikayel lives by one rule-obey the orders of the angelic Council at all costs. That is, until he and his friends, Azza and Demi, are sent to Earth. Assigned as Watchers while they await their decision of which angelic order to serve, the three assume the bodies of teenagers and experience life as human. The sensations are overwhelming as the angels experience a host of human emotions-rage, terror, love-and come ever closer to breaking one of the unbreakable rules-never fall in love. But being human isn't the only problem facing the three angels. Unbeknownst to the Council, demonic activity is on the rise, threatening to break a tenuous peace that has existed for a millennia; a peace Azza seems bent on destroying. Caught in a struggle for power with unseen demonic forces and Azza, and fighting against his rising emotional attachment to Demi, Mikayel must now decide how much he is willing to sacrifice for his new found love-a decision that could reignite an ancient war and will threaten the only thing that matters to the angels, the survival of humanity.
