Wings of Defiance

On Lunaria, peaceful citadels burn as the merciless Djinni sweep across the White Plains, their onslaught threatening to extinguish the dawn of all hope. After a century in captivity, subjected to aetheric experiments by a mad archangel, Sestra finally escapes. Her scars run deep, but her spirit remains unbowed. Haunted by memories of friends still captive, she has no choice but to turn to the archangels to save them. Uriel, Praeses of Caelum, struggles to hold together a council fractured by ambition as the Djinni surge ever closer. Visions of irrevocable pasts and unwritten futures haunt him despite his efforts to ignore them. When Sestra’s plea arrives, embodying the fate of every archangel, he can no longer turn away. With war at their gates, he must destroy one of his own kin, the traitor whose betrayal spawned the horrors that still torment Sestra. Torn between uncertainty and a burgeoning bond, Sestra and Uriel forge an uneasy alliance as they race to free her friends and expose darker conspiracies. In a realm where love can be both a sanctuary and a sacrifice, will their fledgling trust kindle the spark that ends theArchangel’s reign, or will the inferno of defiance consume them both?
