Angels Fall First

Gregori Vailean is living the dream: A supportive-albeit-unorthodox family… A beautiful, brilliant, and brutal girlfriend… And, after graduating at the top of his class from the prestigious Stryker’s Academy, the life he’s worked his entire life for. So when he starts to catch glimpses of trouble beyond the veil of his perfect life—a mother who suffers in her sleep, a father who’s haunted by his past, and a wayward brother with a dangerous secret—Gregori knows that he has what it takes to save the day. What he doesn’t have, however, is a clue…

Gregori Vailean and Luisa Armas thought they were living the lives they always dreamed of. Unfortunately, dangerous secrets and dark truths continue to plague them, threatening to—drown them in an ocean of sadness—tear their perfect lives apart. For their friends, for their loved ones, and for the Xander Stryker, however, they’ll put all of their strength and cunning on the line…… Only to find that those secrets and truths are worse than they ever could have imagined.

Trapped in a hellish stadium and surrounded by death, Gregori and his friends find themselves facing a threat he’s not sure they can survive—a threat the world, itself, might not survive—but they have no other option but to fight....

Gregori Vailean has found himself in a nightmare. The nightmare! Though he’s tried desperately to stop it, he can’t deny that the warzone he’s found himself in is a perfect reflection of his mother’s hellish visions… And it only seems to be getting worse. Despite this, Gregori knows what he has to do—what he has to sacrifice—even if it means turning his back on everything he knows and loves and embracing the horrible darkness inside of him to protect not just his friends, but the world.

Gregori Vailean’s life has turned into a nightmare, and—unsurprisingly—it’s a nightmare he knows all-too-well. It’s the nightmare. His mother’s nightmare. The nightmare that started all of this: A city plagued by a hate-born curse—its streets charred and stained with blood—as a waning army of supernatural warriors struggle in vain. It’s a hellish scene, one that Gregori, his mother, and even Xander Stryker saw coming…
