Synopsis
Set on Samaria, a planet where winged angels' sung prayers can alter the weather and cure illness by calling down pills from the sky, this romantic science fantasy is the fifth in a series to be published, but is the third chronologically, taking place two years after the events of ARCHANGEL. Rebekah, a spirited and lively young woman, chafes at the strict patriarchal traditions of her people, the Jansai, which require her to veil her face and cloister herself from men. Her chance meeting with the angel Obadiah opens her eyes to love and a potential new way of life, but places her in terrible danger should her romance be discovered. At the same time, Elizabeth, who lost both her parents and her pampered way of life at an early age, is desperate to escape the drudgery of her work as a cook on her cousin's farm. So she runs away to Cedar Hills, the new enclave of angels, hoping to become pregnant by one of them and thus feel valued for bearing an angelic child.

Publisher's Note
Forced to live as a servant in her cousin's household, the once-wealthy Elizabeth, determined to transform her life, journeys to Cedar Hills in the hope that she can attract the attention of an angel, while Rebekah, a member of the Jansai tribe who has been raised to hate the angels, comes to the aid of an injured angel near her village, in the sequel to Archangel.

Industry Reviews
"Shinn smoothly blends the romantic sensibility of yesteryear with the feminism of today, all in a richly textured landscape."
Publishers Weekly (01/26/2004)

"With an expert blend of drama, pathos and humor, an utterly original setting, an exciting and tender love story and characters the reader will embrace, this novel is a truly spectacular work of fantasy fiction."
Romantic Times BOOKclub - Jen Talley Exum (03/01/2004)
