Long ago, a war shattered the heavens. Archangel Michael led the charge of light, while Azrael, the defiant, plunged countless angels into rebellion. Defeated, the traitors were cast down - but not all vanished into eternal fire. Some fell... here. They walk among us. They bleed like us. But their blood carries power - ancient, dangerous, divine. Whispers tell of their descendants: half-human, half-fallen. Marked by fate. Hunted by darkness. And bound to a prophecy that could ignite a war between Heaven and Earth. This is not a tale of saints and salvation. This is a story of shadows and seduction. Of mortals corrupted by divine blood. Of those who hunger for the throne of God Himself. The Legacy: Dawn of the Fallen Angels is a work of fiction. It is not based on biblical accounts, and all characters, events, and places are products of imagination. Any resemblance to real persons, living or dead, is purely coincidental. In memory of my beloved friend, Khail Narisma - A gentle soul who walked among us with quiet strength and grace. Your name lives on in these pages, as a fallen angel who never truly fell. - Elizabeth Belarmino, writing as Bethany Bloom

In the fae world of Havenward, Fadelings are what the faeries are called. All Fadelings are elementals, and there are ten types of Fadeling magic. From the humble Stormlings to the ferocious Hemaelings, you'll find magic all over this world. The Dayling Queen of the realm, Faraine Daera, has gone mad, and she's sending her enforcers out all the time to try and kill those she deems unruly. But the Sett Ae'lil, a ragtag group of rebels, has had enough. Their goal is to usurp Faraine Daera, and to put Elidyr Sardan, their Silverling leader, on the throne. Unfortunately, Elidyr is not as kind as they'd like, and her own vicious tendencies begin to show when Edya Eilyra, a Valeling who can control the void itself, joins their ranks. Especially when it is discovered that, through her intense magic over the void, Edya can manipulate all other elements. Now, Edya has become the honed weapon of destruction that Elidyr has always wanted. But it's not what Edya, or her sisrers, want....

Why does King Balan Morgrove of Kargorn want his daughter dead? It's simple, really... When you're going to conquer the other kingdom in the realm and then shatter the veils between worlds so that you can be an emperor of all, you're going to want all your opposition dead. Unfortunately for Ren Morgrove, that means that she is on the top of both her parents' kill list. Ren has magic within her veins, a blue spark of energy which can burn through anything... or anyone. Her parents don't realize yet that that also means she can burn the Realm Veils. But that is something Ren herself learns accidentally one night when she and her friends are in danger. Ren is then thrust into a world where the girl she'd loved and accidentally killed is alive and well ... And she hates Ren. Ren is broken-hearted, not knowing what to do to help her ex-girlfriend's realm from being invaded by her insane parents. Luckily for her, though, Ren is not alone.

Godforged go through many trials and face many difficulties in the way to mastering their powers. But they aren't alone in their trials, as their powers were given to them by their patron deities.
