Angel Down
For eleven centuries, Elian has watched the world from above?never speaking, never touching, never staying.
One unseen child at a time, and he has catalogued every small sorrow Heaven needed witnessed and then walked away before the ache could settle.
Until Sam.
He's ten years old, new in town, and he's quietly disappearing inside his own silence.
Sam is supposed to be assignment number 2,998. A routine observation. A thirty-day watch. Then recall.
But Sam looks up, and one glance is all it takes. He whispered, "Are you lost?" in the hush of a closing library, and Elian's wings begin to bleed light.
Every rule fractures.
Every recall burns unanswered.
The countdown to permanent exile starts ticking in gold letters across his skin.
Now the angel is falling?literally?and Heaven has closed the door behind him.
Grounded in a quiet suburb with a boy who carries the one feather Elian can never take back.
The former Watcher must face the truth he was never told: Some children are not meant to be saved; they are meant to inherit the sky.
But, inheriting wings comes with a price, and someone has to pay it.
A breathtaking story of friendship, sacrifice, and the moment a guardian realizes the child he came to watch was always the one destined to take his place among the stars.
