Publisher's Synopsis
When Octavia Coal goes to the mountains to clear her head, she doesn't expect to find an angel in trouble.
He tells her his name is Tamiel and he's one of the Irin - the army of angels tasked with keeping demons from overwhelming humanity. But Tamiel broke a sacred law - he fell in love with a human - and now he's being hunted by the same angels he once served. With nowhere else to go, Octavia and Tamiel - along with Jack, the human in question, and her brother Caleb - appeal directly to Zev, the Demon of Games. A trickster of unparalleled power, Zev gives nothing for free, and the gift he offers Octavia to keep Tamiel alive comes with a confusing catch: He makes her the Healer of Raphael, archangel and Commander of the Irin. Suddenly a target for both angels and demons, Octavia quickly learns that the only way to survive is to play the game better than they do. The only problem is, she doesn't know whose game she's playing ...
