Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fiery the angels fell; slow thunder rolled around their shores, burning with the fires of Orc.' Whether in recent popular culture, or back across countless centuries, angels have perpetually enthralled, mystified and even terrified us. 'Every single angel is terrible,' wrote the German Romantic poet Rilke: 'and so I hold myself back from the dark bird-cry of my anguished sobbing.' For some in the sceptical, post-Enlightenment West, angels may be no more than metaphors: poetic devices to convey, at least for those with a religious sensibility, an active divine interest in creation. But for others, angels are absolutely real beings: manifestations of cosmic power and energy with the capacity either to enlighten or annihilate those whose awestruck paths they cross. Valery Rees here offers the first comprehensive history of these beautiful, enigmatic and sometimes dangerous beings, whose existence and actions have been charted across the eons of time and civilizations. From the ancient Sumerian and Akkadian winged figures, to Egyptian representations of Ma'at, Persian genii, Arab djinn, biblical cherubim, daemons of Hermes Trismegistus and Milton's defiant fallen angels, From Gabriel to Lucifer reveals a mesmerising trajectory of angelic belief. Whether exploring the feverish visions of Ezekiel and biblical cherubim; the Islamic archangels Jibra'il, Azra'il, Mika'il and Israfil; the austere and haunting icons of Andrei Rublev; or Wim Wenders' Wings of Desire, and the more benign idea of the ever-watchful guardian angel, the author shows that the very ubiquity of these implacable celestial messengers reveal something fundamental, if not about God and the devil, then about ourselves: our perennial preoccupation withhow to depict the transcendent.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the beginning… Three brothers – Gabriel, Michael and Lucifer. Royalty. Archangels. United in devotion to their father and all his works. But when Lucifer learns of their father’s latest creation – a new race, fashioned from crude matter and yet made in his image – he is consumed with resentment. Why have he and his angelic kind been overlooked? After a bitter confrontation, Lucifer is cast out, doomed to an eternity of exile and punishment. Unrepentant, he vows he won’t suffer alone. Mankind has made a powerful enemy – one determined to lure it into darkness and torment any way he can… “There could be no bigger canvas for film-making.” – Mark Ordesky (Executive Producer – Lord of the Rings); “Alec not only re-frames pre-history; she also imaginatively illustrates how the realm of spirit impacts the contemporary material world.” Ileen Maisel (Executive Producer for the Golden Compass) “This is the best work of fiction I have read since the last installment of Dean Koontz’ Frankenstein series” Jim McDonald – 1340Mag – Online Entertainment Magazine.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lucifer, Prince of Darkness, lord of absolutely everything in the Underworld, woke from a coma with the nagging idea that Gabriel had somehow betrayed him. The annoying thing was, he didn't know how or why. The one thing he was certain of was that he couldn't have Gabriel around if he couldn't trust him... or could he? Archangel Gabriel is shattered. After suffering while Lucifer had been in his coma, he'd thought things would all return to normal once the Prince of Darkness woke up. To be confronted with the one being who'd been in his life since the beginning of time and being told to leave shook Gabriel to the core and made him question everything he'd ever known or been told. He understood - he knew how soul destroying being betrayed could be. But without Lucifer in his life, what did he have left to exist for. Betrayals, interventions from angels and demons alike, repressed memories and the mists of time all push Lucifer and Gabriel to find the answers, but how will they deal with the fallout once the truth is revealed? After so much work by the five previous couples, will the Master's plan fall at the last hurdle. After watching Lucifer and Gabriel dance around each other for the previous five books, Love Before Time is their story and the sixth and final book in the Balance series. It is not a standalone.

This gives a whole new look at Heaven, Hell, Angels, God, and the beginning of it all. Now that Lucifer has Gabriel in his arms, where she belongs, their forbidden love has never been so dangerous. Trapped in Hell together, Lucifer finally has the love he's coveted for eons. Gabriel is by his side, a queen to the Prince of Hell. But it's all wrong. Hell is a place for sinners, a place where being cruel and wicked pays off. The stain of this burning land already has its hooks in Lucifer, and now it's coming for Gabriel, threatening her hope and her light with every waking moment. Lucifer wants to save her-but how can he save her from the darkness that already rules inside him? With Hell's endless dangers, keeping Gabriel safe is all Lucifer desires. But Hell isn't the only place that harbors threats. Gabriel is hiding a secret that Heaven is aware of and plans to stop before it can unleash Hell on Earth. With Hellions running rampant, traitors at every corner, and Heaven out for blood, can these forbidden lovers survive the odds stacked against them?

Book excerpt: Two angels—Gabriel and Lucifer—face each other in battle in a “story of arrogance, spite, and betrayal [with] a truly epic feel” (Kirkus Reviews). Written from the two opposing perspectives of Gabriel and Lucifer, War of Wings follows their paths and love stories as they face a violent war that leads to the fall of one-third of the angels from Heaven. Gabriel, the archangel, loves life, but there is one thing in Heaven that he cannot tolerate: perfection. Lucifer, God’s highest cherubim angel and “perfect image of beauty,” stands alone in the hierarchy leading praise, worship, music, and laughter in the hope that one day he will be promoted to God’s equal. War of Wings is a fast-paced journey of two battling angels yearning for change. Their destinies emerge from triumph, failure, love, and heartbreak, as they discover that even in Heaven, decisions always have consequences. “McElroy follows in John Milton’s footsteps in this slick, contemporary recreation of the war for heaven….He writes confidently—sometimes brilliantly.”—Kirkus Reviews
