Early Reviewers
An angel is shot down and falls to the ground in the war between the armies of Heaven and the armies of Earth!
A young tribesman finds her lying damaged in the grass and knows she ought to be his enemy, since his people see themselves as being on the side of the Earth. But Ferren’s curiosity and pity outweigh every rule of his upbringing.
The setting is the far future, a thousand years after human scientists started to explore life after death, discovered Heaven and ended up waging war against the angels. Now the original human beings have been reduced to a degraded existence living in fearful, isolated tribes. Meanwhile, the so-called Humen who rule on Earth are preparing for their ultimate invasion of Heaven.
Ferren’s unique friendship with an angel will change the course of history. But first he must endure exile, learn the horrifying truth about what happens to those selected for ‘military service’, then help his tribe survive through the middle of a stupendous battle between the opposing armies.
This Young Adult Fantasy draws on the traditional lore of angelology – but without pushing a religious message, like C.S.Lewis, or an anti-religious message like Philip Pullman!
