Graduation is meant to be a new beginning. For me, it might be the end. Sneaking off to Vegas was supposed to be fun and exciting.

When the world erupts in chaos, and Tristan's magic act turns out to be more than just an illusion, my entire life changes. Suddenly, I'm catapulted into a world where angels walk among us, and Tristan is one of them. Some are out to destroy us. Some will protect us. The real question is, which side is Tristan on?

Not only must he prove his innocence, but he is the only person in the state who has experience fighting the ancient blood magick that is being twisted to a new and terrible purpose. The stakes have never been higher, and Chance has never faced odds like these before. Stripped of his usual network of friends and allies, can he stop the attacks before they strike too close to home? Or will he be the next victim of a dark and terrible sorcery?

Pages : 142
Book Description
All was perverted in the earth from man to beast under Satans totalitarian rule; men who were novices to wickedness now breathe it with proficiency with the iniquitous philosophies of Lucifer and the undergirding of his celestial subordinates. The pre-Adamites became Satans calamitous disembodied spirits. God would unreservedly destroy the world with a flood. His creation has become mutinous, a decadence of men and a hosts of celestial subordinates; Satan has weakened the nations. Now the Architect of Darkness has schematically designed in his heart to dethrone God in an insurgence like no other! In this scholarly exploration of the mysteries of our past and present world, Dr. Angela Croone considers the topics of history, paleontology, science, physics, climatic change, and accurate theology as they relate to the Genesis Gap. This term refers to the world before the present time that existed between Genesis 1:1 and Genesis 1:2, whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished. Croone examines related biblical texts and their implications in controversial issues regarding both our past and our present. Meticulously researched and thoroughly presented, Galgaliel Angels and D[a]emons provides a better understanding of our historyits light and its darkness.

A massive army on the brink of conquest looms large in a world where prophecies are lies, magic is believed in but never seen, and hope is where you least expect to find it. Welcome to the Five Isles, where war has come in the name of the invading army of Sør Sevier, a merciless host driven by the prophetic fervor of the Angel Prince, Aeros, toward the last unconquered kingdom of Gul Kana. Yet Gault, one of the elite Knights Archaic of Sør Sevier, is growing disillusioned by the crusade he is at the vanguard of just as it embarks on his Lord Aeros’ greatest triumph. While the eldest son of the fallen king of Gul Kana now reigns in ever increasing paranoid isolationism, his two sisters seek their own paths. Jondralyn, the older sister, renowned for her beauty, only desires to prove her worth as a warrior, while Tala, the younger sister, has uncovered a secret that may not only destroy her family but the entire kingdom. Then there’s Hawkwood, the assassin sent to kill Jondralyn who has instead fallen in love with her and trains her in his deadly art. All are led further into dangerous conspiracies within the court. And hidden at the edge of Gul Kana is Nail, the orphan taken by the enigmatic Shawcroft to the remote whaling village of Gallows Haven, a young man who may hold the link to the salvation of the entire Five Isles. You may think you know this story, but everyone is not who they seem, nor do they fit the roles you expect. Durfee has created an epic fantasy full of hope in a world based on lies.
