notbecauseofvictories:DAUGHTERS OF MENYet God had forbidden relations between the sons of heaven and Adam’s descendents, forbidden them as relations between brother and sister. Thus was the Archangel Gabriel sent to smite all those who had defied Him. And only the Elioud were spared, for the Archangel Gabriel would not raise his hand against a child for the fact of its birth.the book of caiaphas It has been millennia since the offspring of angels and men walked the world–the first generation Elioud, those monstrous giants with divinity in their bones. But with the threat of the Archangel Gabriel ever-present, very few angels have since attempted the sin of the Nephilim. The noble Elioud bloodlines of earth have become greatly diluted–the youngest daughter of the Abagiron has feathers growing along her shoulders; the Oryel patriarch is said to be able to touch fire without burning, but these are exceptions. Humanity seems increasingly doomed to its own skin.Which is why the whole world takes notice when a young woman is discovered in rural Missouri–eight feet tall, with sightless eyes of fire and rows of mother-of-pearl teeth. She has a set of wings at her shoulders and another at her hips; they hum faintly, and hurt to touch.She says her name is Abbdya, but does not know who named her, bore her, conceived her. She has been alone for as long as memory, she tells the breathless press, the adoring cameras, the Elioud families desperate to bring her into the fold. Fortunately, they care far more about what she wears and whom she sees than about her origins.But the Archangel Gabriel cares. Determined to bring justice to whatever angel and human dared trespass on the Father’s will, he cares very much. And he is determined to make Abbdya’s life as difficult as possible until he finds out. -- source link
