by JL Rothstein
Know More
To Hell, this world is fractured and faithless, perfectly ripe for the picking. Sent by Heaven, Guardians defend against a malevolent onslaught of demonic intrusion. For hundreds of years the nine siblings of the O’Mara family have been engaged in this merciless battle, fighting to protect the souls of all humanity.
Heaven and Hell have been waging this infernal war bound only by the rules of a contentious accord. On the anniversary of her husband Gabriel’s disappearance, Genevieve O’Mara’s lingering sorrow manifests into a murderous rage unfurled upon a demon. Vengeance is coming, not just for Genevieve, but for all those she loves.
A Word from the Author
I dreamt of the character Gabriel many years ago. I knew right away he would be an entity from Heaven and that he longed to be reunited with his wife. I also knew I didn’t want him to be an Angel. I wanted him to be a being that would give his life for humanity, but not actually be human.
In my debut novel, Atonement, Gabriel is married to Genevieve O’Mara. She and her siblings are Guardians, earthbound entities that fight against the destructive intrusion of Hell on Earth. I named the O’Mara siblings after my nine nieces and nephews. Each of the three books focuses on one of the O’Mara sisters.
The theme of the first book is about the power of forgiveness and the strengths and loyalties that bond families together.
