Rebel

Late in the twenty-first century, humanity is squeezed between the poisoned ground left by fifty years of atomic warfare and the Republic, which rules with an iron hand. Some angels have traded their wings for a place in a covert brotherhood that fights the regime. Each fighter chose this path freely, yet the price of falling from grace is steeper than any of them imagined. Those caught risk being branded mutants and sent to the Republic's slave pens.

Surveillance reaches everywhere, and nowhere is safe from the state's watchful eyes. Armand, a fallen angel who gave up his wings to defy the Republic, plans to kill presidential hopeful Maximilian Blackstone. The mission collapses when his partner is critically wounded, and Armand worries that his failure will cost him any hope of returning to heaven.

Theodora is a wraith, a woman the authorities insist does not exist. She survives in the shadows, collecting bounties that pay for new lives for the people she cares about. When a job ends in disaster and she is taken prisoner by a proud, domineering stranger, her world tilts. As Theodora and Armand's missions draw them together, their hearts follow. Can they rescue the world and each other? This series was previously published under the pseudonym Claire Delacroix.
