Defiant Warrior
Sexy Beasts. Deadly Buzzards. One chance before heads roll…
Defiant Warrior is the third installment from this five-part series, exploding with action, dark romance and politically motivated enemies.
Upon returning to the heavenly realm, the angel Zane rescued in Montana is arrested. Using his authority as Justicar, Zane must navigate the political mine field of angelic law.
With his allies as dangerous as his enemies, Sinohne is losing the battle for Hell—his absence allowing the other factions to eagerly divide up his territories amongst themselves.
When rumors surface of a demon defecting from Wrath, Sinohne and Zane must track her down—finding her could be the key to winning the war and saving an innocent angel.
But after the Seraphim reveal their ancient secrets, will Zane be the one who needs rescuing this time?

This series is getting better and better. The story starts with Zane being woken up by pounding on his door. He finds many people but Roza is beside herself as Ryse was being arrested on charges no one knew. As Justicar, Zane tasked himself with trying to free him. As he sets off trying to get evidence, he is taken away by Azrael and gets to see the Genesis tree. As he tries to free himself, he gets pulled into a dream where all his wishes come true. In the meanwhile both Mace and Sin get closer. Told in multiple points of view, it tells the story of how Zane frees Ryse, learning more about what happened to the one who attacked Ryse and Roza and meeting new allies. I cannot wait to see what happens next as this ended with a bang.
