Synopsis

She never meant to fall.

Gladriel once stood among Heaven’s chosen until one act of defiance cast her into Morningstar Academy, where fallen angels are forced into obedience and stripped of everything they once were.

But survival is only the beginning.

Kessien, her former celestial squadron leader, represents everything she left behind, order, duty, and the life she was meant to live.

Dante, her new mentor at the Academy, represents something entirely different. He teaches her how to survive the fallen world and forces her to become someone new.

As Heaven’s war breaks open the fallen world, Gladriel is pulled between the love that remembers her… and the one reshaping who she is becoming.

But in the end, the greatest danger may not be falling, it may be who she falls for.

Tropes: Fallen angel romance, celestial academy, slow-burn forbidden love, love triangle, mentor romance, enemies to lovers, identity transformation

Incredible start to this series

Review of Cursed

This book follows Gladriel, an angel who defies a direct order from the Almighty and gets cast down to… a lower level. But Gladriel has a beautiful heart that causes not only the friends she left behind to rally around her but raises up her new companions to champion for right as well. With a hint of romance and plenty of action, this is a great kick off to a remarkable series.
