Upon his arrival Jack soon learns that the treasure he has been hired to protect is a teenage girl named Gabrielle. Born with wings, Gabrielle also possess other abilities that defy explanation. While Jack tries to protect the girl, raised to fit into the role of the angel that she appears to be from outside threats, he learns that sometimes the greatest threats come from your allies. The job of protecting Gabrielle will test his abilities and his faith like nothing he has ever faced before.
I feel it necessary to divulge the fact that the author is an old friend from my hometown, and that is how I found out about this book.
That being said, I'm SO glad that I read it because I think he has some exceptional talent!
It is a bit rough around the edges in some places (and he definitely needs an editor), but the story and the characters really captured my attention. It reminds me of the Dan Brown books that I've read, and I consider that a big compliment. I can't wait to find out what will happen in book 2!
