The Weight of Feathers

Lena Morrow doesn't believe in miracles. After eight years as a hospice nurse and a lifetime of losing the people she loves, she has made peace with the fact that death is messy, unglamorous, and final. She is good at her job precisely because she offers no false hope.Then a man with wings is admitted to her floor.He calls himself Azrael. He claims to be a fallen angel serving an eternal sentence on Earth, his body slowly unraveling from the inside out. Lena tells herself he is delusional. She tells herself the way she feels around him is just proximity and exhaustion. She tells herself a lot of things that turn out to be wrong.Because Azrael has been looking for her for eight hundred years. Not her, exactly. The soul she carries. The same soul he loved in a village that no longer exists, in a lifetime neither of them was supposed to remember.Now a celestial arbiter has arrived with a verdict, and Lena and Azrael have seven days to do the impossible: not break a curse, but rewrite one. Create a love that exists outside the old rules entirely.The only problem is that the old rules have been holding the universe together for millennia.And Lena Morrow has never been very good at following rules.The Weight of Feathers is the first novel in the Mortal Heavens Series, a collection of standalone paranormal romances exploring what happens when divine law meets the stubbornness of the human heart.
