The Angel Who Fell for the Wrong Destiny
Step aside, grand cosmic harmony-the universe has officially misplaced its paperwork.
Meet Azariel: a Senior Compliance Seraph Fourth Class who has spent the last four billion years filing environmental impact reports for trilobites and managing the celestial office supply closet. He thought his biggest headache would be the Great Papyrus Shortage of 2400 BCE. Then, divine providence assigned him to Pelican Cove, California, to stop a falling stucco gargoyle from squishing an ordinary mortal.
The intended outcome? Saving her life so she could invent an ergonomic latch for a two-slice toaster forty-two years down the line. The actual outcome? Total, unadulterated, cosmic disaster.
Enter Tessa Finch: a chaotic, grease-stained antique restorer who uses consecrated altar wine as an electrical electrolyte and recently purchased the missing Prime Chronometer-the master gearwork of reality-at a five-dollar flea market sale. Equipped with a pair of brass tweezers and an alarming lack of fear, Tessa has been casually shimming the Pacific weather systems with a seafood restaurant matchbook and fixing universal physics by feel.
When an accidental lab explosion leads to a tangled, breathless tumble on the floorboards, Azariel finds himself facing the most terrifying anomaly in existence: a mortal woman who refuses to follow the rules, treats celestial archangels like middle management, and makes an overworked angel's immortal heart do entirely unauthorized things.
Now, with an infernal intern tracking their paperwork, a squad of flaming biblical wheels descending from the heavens, and the entire timeline jammed by a piece of restaurant memorabilia, Azariel and Tessa are forced to go on the run. Armed with a stolen station wagon, a box of instant coffee, and a total disregard for the laws of physics, they are about to discover that saving the universe is hard work-but falling for the wrong destiny is much more fun.
