Archangel’s Prophecy

Nalini Singh. Berkley, $7.99 mass market (368p) ISBN 978-0-451-49164-0

Prophecy and unbending devotion collide in Singh’s game-changing 11th Guild Hunter novel (after Archangel’s Viper). Unexpected humor and quick-paced plot shifts expand the setting and advance the action without leaving new readers in the dark. Archangel Raphael and his consort, former mortal Elena, are center stage as the power-enhancing Cascade again unsettles the world. Raphael tries to contain its unnatural phenomena, such as lava sinkholes; master his new abilities; and prepare his territory for the return of the power-hungry Archangel of Death. Determined to keep her family safe, Elena refuses to stop hunting for the killer targeting her sister’s husband, but she increasingly falters in the air. Soon Elena and Raphael realize she’s regressing toward mortality. Singh heightens tension in this spellbinding paranormal romance as familial bonds deepen and a heartbreaking mystery unfolds, leading to a destiny-defying climax certain to stun fans. This book can be read as a standalone but will lead a new reader to gobble up the entire series. Singh is in a class all her own and knows just how to leave readers wanting more. Agent: Nephele Tempest, Knight Agency. (Nov.)
