The Enemy of Heaven is the first instalment of The Heaven Trilogy. Angel Raphael and Demon Dante are drawn together by recollections of their first chance meeting and then Raphael’s desire to save Dante’s life. Yet Raphael also seeks an ally in his dangerous political game to upend of the order of things and create a better world for all who live in it.
This is an action-packed political thriller, with an well-developed array of characters – both good and bad. The dynamic between Raphael and Dante is interesting and changes as the story progresses, as Dante becomes more sure of himself and Raphael perhaps less so.
If you want to read a different kind of angels and demons story, I recommend The Enemy of Heaven.
