from the prologue of FALLEN by Claire Delacroix:
"July 2, 2099
The surgery hurt far more than he'd expected.
But then, how could he have prepared for an experience so new? He'd known nothing of pain.
Until the first cut.
A line of fire ripped across his back and he screamed. It was the first audible sound he'd ever made.
Feathers were falling, surrounding him with a curtain of drifting white. It took him a moment to realize they were his own feathers. They had lost their familiar luminescence and looked alien."

It had taken four months, calling in every favor ever owed her, a case of expensive Scotch and a date with a slimy private investigator who had made the mistake of thinking "date" meant "sex."

She'd died and gone to heaven, or better, because who knew if there was really good sex and lazy holiday mornings in heaven.

"We have problems."
Caden McTavish rolled his eyes. If Bram Rion thought that was news, it came two weeks too late.
Hovering on the edge of a bottle green armchair, Caden watched Merlin's grandson slam the door to his palatial home office, locking the Doomsday Brethren into the edgy silence with him. Each were warriors in their own way, most magical. All had the kind of mettle that would have been welcome in the Marine platoon in which Caden served.

London, England
Christmas, 1806
On a snowy Christmas Eve, as the most elite ranks of the haut ton gathered at Darlington House in London's Mayfair district to usher in the twelve days of Christmas, an annoyed Duke of Darlington was across town, striding purposefully down King Street through a light dusting of snow, studying the light fans above town-house doors in search of the interwined letters G and K.
