A six thousand year war rages and now the demonic Fallen are coming for him--the one man shrouded in mystery. Only Validus stands in their way. Validus is the last and least of God's angels, but he's seen much across the millennia since his creation. Empires have risen and fallen as angelic and demonic forces battle in a raging war that will determine humanity's fate - and the fate of his defeated brothers. Eventually called to be an earth-bound warrior, Validus rises to a position of power and respect, commanding legions of angels through impossible battles and overwhelming odds. But when orders arrive from the Creator's most elite Messenger, he finds himself suddenly demoted to a task of apparent insignificance considering the fierce war they are waging against the demonic Fallen - the covert protection of one unbelieving man. Validus soon finds himself on a mission that will push him beyond his abilities as he battles to protect Drew Carter, for the Fallen are coming for him. Legions of them. As Validus races against time to discover why Drew is so important to humanity's survival, can he stand between Drew and all who would destroy him?
After the way book 1 (Cloak of the Light) ended, I was anxious to see what happened next with Drew, so it was hard to get into this book at first. But once I did, it was, of course, really good. In Rise of The Fallen, the protagonist is an angel named Validus (who is actually introduced in book 1). The timeline parallels book 1, showing things from Validus' perspective and everything that's going in in the spirit realm. But there's also flashbacks throughout the book from Validus' past that go back to the beginning of time, where we read about Lucifer and a third of the angels rebelling and being cast out of heaven for one thing. I loved seeing more deeply into the world of angels and demons in this amazing book! Jayt was definitely one of my favorite angels(:
