Publisher's Synopsis
In a world where celestial beings once ruled over mortals with both grace and terror, Banished Angel tells the story of Azrael, an angel cast from the heavens and condemned to live among humans, stripped of his wings and immortality.
Azrael was once one of the highest-ranking warriors of the Celestial Host, a group of powerful angels charged with maintaining balance between the realms. But when a forbidden act of compassion for a mortal woman leads to an unspeakable betrayal, Azrael is exiled from the heavens, his wings torn away and his divine powers erased. Now, a mere mortal in a world that once feared him, he is forced to live among the very people he once watched from afar - powerless, broken, and hunted.
As Azrael struggles to adapt to his new, fragile existence in the sprawling city of Eldros, he uncovers whispers of an ancient prophecy: an uprising of fallen angels is gathering in the shadows, seeking to overthrow the celestial order and reclaim their lost power. A prophecy that seems to center on Azrael, the "banished one," as the key to their return. His torment is only deepened when he is discovered by Selene, a young sorceress with ties to the ancient, hidden magic of the world, who believes that Azrael might be the one to save the realms from an even darker force - a force that threatens both mortal and celestial worlds alike.
Azrael and Selene become unlikely allies, pursued by both celestial hunters seeking to destroy him and rogue angels desperate to use his power for their own rise. As Azrael's connection to his angelic heritage slowly begins to resurface, he realizes that he may not only be the key to unlocking the power of the fallen angels, but also the only one capable of stopping an ancient evil that seeks to reclaim control of both Heaven and Earth.
In a journey filled with perilous encounters, ancient ruins, and celestial warfare, Azrael must decide whether to embrace the vengeance of his past or fight to protect the future of both mortal and immortal realms. His true identity is slowly revealed - but with it comes a terrifying truth: Azrael is not only the banished angel of legend, but the last hope for salvation.
