The angels are here, but we don’t know what kind of choir we’re dealing with.

It’s what we wanted, but Kat has had dealings with them before. There are nine choirs of them. Some are peaceful and can be reasoned with. Others are rather stupid and violent. There’s supposed to be a choir devoted to policing the stupid violent ones, but they all live in a different realm.

We need the angels to convince the humans that we’re not their enemy. We just don’t know which kind are currently falling from the sky.

It wasn't worth the hassle of anyone finding out my secret

Guttertown is the filthy underbelly of Nestran. Everyone knows everyone's secrets, but they don't know mine.

Being the bastard daughter of the most powerful Baron in Nestran won't end well for me. They've managed to keep kings and queens who can set things on fire with their minds under their control since the war. Like, I have much of a chance against them if I ever announced myself as his daughter and asked for help.

Which is why my mother raised me as a boy. Even I thought I was a boy until my period started at ten and I thought I was dying. She told me why she lied. If I ever needed help from my father, he was going to require me to pay him back by working at the brothels.

I've kept up the ruse, but it's a lot more complicated now. I had four best friends when I thought I was a boy. I'm still close with them, but I'm desperately in love with three of them and the fourth is now my mortal enemy. Not like I can do much about any of that except keep hating Neco.

Except my mom has a cough and my father would have the best healers if it's serious. She'd forbid me from asking, but she's my world.

If I have to play his soldier, I will. I'm just not thinking about what will happen if he finds out I'm his daughter, not his son.

Growing up, I had three rules: Never leave the yard, talk to no one, and hide if anyone came over.

I grew up on the one island in this realm without magic. Earth, Air, Fire, and Water. You're either a fire element or a shifter with one of those elements. Except me. I don't make sense. I have magic on an island with no magic, fire, and I can shift into whatever I want. I've always been told the humans, the fire elements who rule everything, and the shifter tribes would hurt me if they ever found out about me. I hated never having any friends and only ever speaking to the man who trained and raised me, but that fear made me follow his rules.

Except now he's old and sick and he's breaking his own rules. He has a message for the fire princess that he can only tell her in person instead of sending a raven. He refuses to give me the message, but he expects me to go to the mainland, get close to the princess, and convince her to come back to an island where she would be powerless to hear his message.

I can hide my abilities, but fire elements are extremely rare now. I can't hide my red hair. No matter how I do this, I'm going to be in danger.

I'm petrified, but I'm also curious what the world is like outside our yard.

This book should release early

The angels came two hundred years ago with a mission to wipe out everything the pagan gods created.

The humans came together to form the Coalition to hunt us for them. We disappear and end up in various places to be experimented on. I ended up in New Eden Asylum. The nuns and priests keep me in a padded room in the basement with all the deadlier supernaturals. They don't experiment on me and try to cure me like the others because I'm too dangerous to be in the same room with. I don't know how long I've been here, but I haven't seen or spoken to anyone in a very long time.

But there are three new people here. I can't see them, but I can hear them in my head. Mate. They say they will find me and get me out of here. They comfort me when the nuns never turn the lights off and forget to bring my one meal a day. I've never seen their faces, but I feel a connection to them. I want to get out of here. But I can never meet them.

They would die instantly if they looked me in the eye

I am Medusa

I can barely handle the truth about what Athena really did to me.

I dont even have time to process it really. Hannibal is on the warpath after we destroyed his Asylum. Father Nathan leaked the documents Pax and Cas stole. Everyone knows Hannibal is the leader of a culty hate group. Hes doing damage control now and that makes him dangerous. Hes got friends in politics, military, and law enforcement. Theyll all be looking for us.

We have to bring a stupid fake blue priest down before we can bring the real enemy down. I dont know how to fight angels.
