THE WAR IN HEAVEN Mariel thought she was the guardian angel of an ordinary boy -- until the night an army of fallen angels took an unholy interest in her charge. Overcome by an angel prince of awesome power, Mariel can only watch as an even greater terror descends upon Christopher's home then vanishes with him. Christopher had never believed in angels, or even in God, Heaven, or Hell. But he had never imagined an angel like Kaym, with his hard-core style, terrible beauty, and distinctly unangelic disposition. Kaym has important friends and incredible power of his own -- power that Christopher can share, if he'll join their fellowship and take up their crusade. And Christopher is willing. He's tired of following all the rules, and being Kaym's friend comes with some very appealing perks. In fact, once he has wings and the ability to fly, storming the gates of Heaven sounds like a lot of fun. Still, when he discovers his slightly out-of-favor angels are just as happy to be called demons, even Christopher becomes a bit disturbed....
