An exciting month with the release of two books from the Forgotten Wings universe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although the stories and tone are quite different, both occur in the same timeframe and so it is logical to release them together. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Halja’s Gate<\/strong> is the more ‘adult’ of the two, with scenes I would not recommend to my younger readers. On the other hand, To Hell and hopefully back<\/strong> is an exciting book with challenging ideas, but nothing that I believe a young adult could not safely cope with. The older amongst you will love it too \u2014 guaranteed! Age-safe should not mean dumbed-down in my opinion!

To set the context a little, Sapphira Rossini is a fallen angel, once a princess of Hell, who has claimed dominion over the demons of Earth. As the very Queen of Demons she has many responsibilities, responsibilities that she shifts over to her sister-in-soul<\/em> Stansie Ballare when she needs to mount a rescue mission for her beloved wife. The two books follow both their stories during this time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
