When an angel falls in love......his devotion is eternal—his heart forever tied to a single soul. For the archangel Camael, that soul is Hannah Adams. Loving her has been the greatest blessing of his long existence, and the anticipation of becoming a father fills him with joy. But their happiness is short-lived as a sinister plot unfolds: the forces of darkness seek to free Lucifer from his thousand-year prison, planning to use Hannah and her unborn child as the key to unleashing hell on Earth.At the center of this scheme is the goddess Astarte, orchestrating her fallen lover's release from hellish captivity. As Camael races to save Hannah, long-buried secrets are revealed, plunging his world into chaos and placing countless obstacles in his path. Even with the help of the rebellious Gabriel and the reluctant Michael, Camael faces overwhelming odds in the race to save his love and prevent Armageddon.Five years later, the battle's echoes still linger. A newborn baby—Sophie—is left on the doorstep of Charles and Nanette Fairchild. Marked by destiny, Sophie amazes her adoptive parents with compassion and kindness, collecting stray animals and always watched over by two invisible, winged guardians. Her caring spirit leads her to befriend a homeless girl burdened by unimaginable tragedy. By bringing this new friend home, Sophie unwittingly sets in motion the events of an ancient prophecy—one that could ensure the downfall of the Dark Ones if allowed to unfold. Desperate, the Fallen rise once more, determined to prevent their own destruction by targeting the messenger: the child of destiny. As danger closes in, it's up to Sophie's angelic guardians to protect her. Will they reach her before it's too late, or will the prophecy—and hope—be extinguished before it can be fulfilled? (This book has been remastered and was previously published under the titles, Camael's Gift, Camael's Battle, and Sophie's Wish, three series novellas combined to become the first novel in the Angelic Hosts series by Michele E. Gwynn.)
