Razing the Last Bastion

Book excerpt: When the angels could no longer be trusted, Heaven created her... Quayla's daring rescue has freed Atlanta's Shield, both saving and dooming the city. Ignis is lost to her. Terrance is corrupted. Vitae is once more free to terrorize the city and a tortured and tormented Mare has been wrenched from damnation itself. Even Summus, the Divine One meant to protect them all, has been drained nearly to death. Faery is on the march. Empowered with Summus's stolen divine essence, the Exiled Lady ignites a plot to free all of the Fallen from their chains. As the battlelines are drawn, Quayla clings to beaten and bloodied hope. To protect Atlanta and the world, Quayla need only put aside her pain and redeem her nemesis. At the eleventh hour, the Exiled Lady offers her an alternative. Quayla can punish Dylan's murderer, save her loved ones, even protect Creation from the apocalypse. All she has to do is change sides.
