At the dawn of time, two ancient adversaries battled for control of Earth. One man rose to stand at humanity's side. A soldier whose name we still remember today…
Cut down by an act of betrayal, Mikhail lingers between life and death while his fragile alliance crumbles against the onslaught of a Sata'anic invasion. Fearful the intrepid Angelic might lose hope and die, his young protégé concocts a plan to fool him into thinking his wife is at his side. Meanwhile, held captive by the Evil One, Ninsianna must choose between loyalty to her fallen husband and manipulating the Evil One's minions to turn against him.
As darkness tears the heavens asunder, a tiny Mesopotamian village finds itself the epicenter of a war between good and evil. But all is not lost. An ancient goddess has recruited two 'Watchmen' to turn darkness back into the light; mortal creatures who do not realize they are pawns in an eternal war.
The saga of the greatest superhero to ever walk the Earth continues in Agents of Ki…

I dedicate this book to all the brave men and women who serve in the armed forces. To you I dedicate the biggest, baddest superhero to ever walk the earth. The Archangel Michael. A soldier … like you.
You are the wind beneath our wings. Thank you!

I’d like to thank the people without whose support this novel would have died a plot bunny hopping around on a hard drive.
To my wonderful husband who tolerates my nocturnal writing bouts and strange musings about ‘Not now! My bad guy is talking to me.’
To my lovely children … who think nothing about coming home from school to find their mother running around the house, thwacking at imaginary opponents with a
real
sword.
Kid:
"Hi mom."
Me: [*freezes mid-swing*]
"Oh, uh, hi? You're back from school?"
Kid:
"Yup. It's three o'clock. Can I have a cookie?"
Me:
"Uh … err … do your homework first."
Kid:
"Okay."
[*leaves without so much as blinking*]
To my Alpha-reader, Cindy Leppard Green, who patiently read the earliest drafts of this beast in its most awkward, nascent form and provided invaluable feedback. Thank you so much!
To my writing critique group,
Plot Bunnies and Edit Demons
, who made my manuscript bleed red ink on the sacrificial altar of good writing: Lori, Rick, -M-, Jaanet, Sian, Courtney, Crystal, Kiersten, and Manon. And special thanks to the Hyannis Subway that hosts our writing group every week! Good food, good friends, and cookies! Thank you Chris, Jodi, Mike, Marissa, Dan, Savannah and Rajae!
To my wonderful beta-readers who provided much helpful feedback.
Cindy Leppard-Green, Aaron Libby, Patricia Phare-Camp, and Michelle Michael. Thank you!
To Rochelle Green aka ‘Caelicorn’ my wonderful cover artist who brought to life my vision of Mikhail fallen. I hope readers will visit her digital gallery at

To Sensei Donna and my fellow karate students at the
Feisty Lion USA Gojudo Karate
studio who’ve tolerated my conscripting classes into live re-enactments of battle scenes. Oooh … weapons!!! Bling!
To my patient friends, who tolerate my launching into conversations about fictional characters that do not really exist and do not call the police when I fade off mid-sentence and mumble ‘excuse me … I have to go home and kill somebody…’
