And Gabriel is certain that she will greet the news of her betrothal with enthusiasm, and a devotion to duty equal to his own. The oracles have chosen Gabriel for this honor, and further decreed that he must first wed a mortal woman named Rachel. But with the coming of an age of corruption, Samaria's only hope lies in the crowning of a new Archangel. Generations later, the armed starship Jehovah still looms over the planet of Samaria, programmed to unleash its arsenal if peace is not sustained. Angels to guard the mortals and mystics to guard the forbidden knowldge. Charismatic Archangel Delilah has been injured and forced to give up. Diverse peoples held together by respect for each other. More than a hundred years after the time of Rachel and Gabriel, Samaria is in deep turmoil. Through science, faith, and force of will, the Harmonics carved out for themselves a society that they conceived as perfect. From national bestselling author Sharon Shinn comes a stunningly beautiful novel of a distant future-where the fate of the world rests on the voice of an angel.
