children of the fallen

Seven haunted and talented half-breeds, not knowing who they are or what they can do, grow up in a city full of fallen angels. Only Old Abe knows them all, helping them and hiding them from their glorious and terrifying parents who call them abominations.A homeless musician, a blind painter, a boy who can photograph angels, a fiery cellist, a tarot card reader–all lovers, children, or grandchildren of fallen angels, and just a few of Abe’s charges.  Fallen angels with wings of fire, wings of stone, wings of night–or dawn, or mirrors, or music–they walk invisibly through the city, just a few of Abe’s enemies.

At first the half-breeds are unaware of each other, seven unique people muddling through their troubled, intertwined lives alone.  Until a young man, raised by angels, finds them all and they begin to spill their secrets.  Because only by coming together will the half-breeds be able to save Abe from those of the fallen who wish to kill him for his audacity.
