Jennifer L. ArmentroutRomance · Romantasy·b. 1980
Rage and Ruin
Synopsis
Trinity is half angel, and Zayne is the gargoyle sworn to protect her. Together they have been working alongside demons to hold off an apocalypse, and both are doing their best not to fall for each other. The threat has a name now, the Harbinger, but nobody knows who or what it is.
Each night the two patrol the streets of Washington, DC, looking for any sign of it. The Harbinger is killing Wardens and demons alike, and the deaths follow no pattern they can see. Staying close is a necessity, which makes keeping their distance harder.
As the bodies add up, Trin and Zayne uncover a plot that puts someone dear to Zayne in danger. Trin also begins to suspect that someone is steering her, moving her where they want her to go for a purpose she cannot yet name. Anger spreads between them and through the city, and their feelings slip further out of their control.
This is the second book in the Harbinger series, so it follows directly on from the first, Storm and Fury. It is romantic fantasy set in a contemporary American city, mixing paranormal action with a slow-burning, strained romance. Expect rising tension, a mystery that tightens with every death, and stakes that reach all of humankind.
