Smiling broadly, he nodded.
Alyssa stared at him, unable to speak.
He laughed softly. “Now who is stunned into silence?”
Pressing her hands against her flushed cheeks, she could only smile. Her heart pounded within her breast and tears of joy blurred her vision.
His smile faltered and his expression grew serious. “You do know that it is Rosalind’s human nature that allows her to procreate. The Grigori can produce children with humans, but a child has never resulted when two angels mate.”
“We cannot have children?” The thought gave her a moment’s pause.
“It is not possible.”
The mists were
gone,
she had found her true mate and her heart nearly burst with love. Did he expect her to be disappointed? “But we can still join with each other?” she asked with a mischievous smile.
He grinned. “Every chance we get.”
“And we are both immortal?”
He nodded.
She threw her arms around his neck and kissed him passionately. “Oh my love, we will spend eternity together—and I am going home!

Rebel Angels, Book Three
By Cyndi Friberg
“There is no peace in Heaven, and life has lost its splendor.” With those words Lailah joins the ranks of the
Rebel Angels
. Now she is on a quest to rediscover life’s splendor, which isn’t easy as an Angel of Death.
Nate’s life is shattered when brigands claim the lives of his family. He nearly surrenders to despair when an ethereal creature appears offering comfort and tenderness. Convinced she is only an illusion, Nate abandons himself to the dream.
A year later an old friend arrives at Monthamn Castle for an extended visit. Nate is shocked and fascinated when his friend’s traveling companion turns out to be the “angel” from his dream.
Can a shattered soul and an Angel of Death find peace in each other’s arms?
From Cyndi:
The final installment in my
Rebel Angels
trilogy is darker and more extreme than the first two books. Lailah is an Angel of Death, so I deal with grief, loss, and the restorative power of love.
I kept the story in medieval England. I couldn’t resist all the opportunities for drama in such a savage era. As with the other two books,
Splendor and Darkness
blends historical detail with paranormal elements. There are more scheming demons, flaming swords, and a clairvoyant human determined to protect her children from forces she doesn’t understand. Each of these stories is special to me. I hope you enjoy them too!
