Archangel (Samaria, Book 1)
Set in a society founded as an egalitarian utopia but now tainted with vices  and inequity, Sharon Shinn's love story is plotty and calamitous. Rachel and Gabriel  have nothing in common beyond wishing that the god Jovah had ordained they wed  other people, yet they must cooperate in singing a mass to the god on the occasion of  Gabriel's elevation to Archangel. Upright Gabriel has enemies among both mortal and  angelic peoples who prefer to risk world destruction over his restoration of the old  order.--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
