Book Description:
Award-winning author Sharon Shinn returns to the "fascinating world"* of Samaria in a richly romantic tale that begins where Archangel left off. In that time, the women who craved the attention of angels were known as angel-seekers, a term used with awe by some-and scorn by others.
Elizabeth was born to wealth, but circumstances forced her to live as a servant in her cousin's household. Determined to change her life, she travels to the town of Cedar Hills, hoping that an angel will take notice of her, and take her as his own.
Rebekah is a daughter of the Jansai tribe, raised to hate the angels. But when she finds an injured angel near her village, she defies her upbringing to care for him.
In time, these two women, whose paths will cross, will both find what they long for, in surprising-and dangerous-ways.

In a far world, where angels and humans meet and live together, women are attracted to the beauty and presence of angels....and some seek to love them. Women who give themselves to angels are called Angel Seekers, and the words are not considered a compliment by most. In this story, a young woman, desperate for a better life, becomes an angel seeker, hoping to have an angel baby by him. But, once she finds an angel, she finds that things are not as they have always seemed to her, and her life changes for good.
Highly recommended, fantasy/sf, should be read after other books in the series.
