Book 1 in The Angel Crusades Series by CS Yelle
Britt Anderson
went along with everything the doctors said for nearly four years, but
she was still dying at eighteen. The cancer had won leaving her without a
future, without any options, and without control. No control, except
for how she would leave this world. As Britt tries to end her life by
going into the frigid waters she realizes her mistake. She struggles to
get back to shore, to cry out for help, but her atrophied muscles are
useless and the frigid water steals the breath from her chemo-scarred
lungs. Despite her father’s attempts to reach her, she flies over the
waterfall.
When Allister Parks finds Britt’s fragile body on the
riverbank something calls out to him. Ignoring the warnings of his
sister, Allister brings Britt back from the edge of death. The only
problem is that an Eternal like Allister isn’t allowed to touch those
who have already passed from this world. It is forbidden; an
infraction punishable by death.
As Britt relishes her new
cancer-free life and senior year of high school, her very existence
threatens Allister’s place in this world. Allister struggles to keep
Britt a secret from the Eternal Council and out of the hands of the only
Eternal who already knows the truth: the one who stole her guardian
angel.
