Synopsis:
Book 1 in The Angel Crusades Series by CS Yelle
Britt Anderson went along with everything the doctors said for nearly four years, but she was still dying at eighteen. The cancer had won leaving her without a future, without any options, and without control. No control, except for how she would leave this world. As Britt tries to end her life by going into the frigid waters she realizes her mistake. She struggles to get back to shore, to cry out for help, but her atrophied muscles are useless and the frigid water steals the breath from her chemo-scarred lungs. Despite her father’s attempts to reach her, she flies over the waterfall.
When Allister Parks finds Britt’s fragile body on the riverbank something calls out to him. Ignoring the warnings of his sister, Allister brings Britt back from the edge of death. The only problem is that an Eternal like Allister isn’t allowed to touch those who have already passed from this world. It is forbidden; an infraction punishable by death.
As Britt relishes her new cancer-free life and senior year of high school, her very existence threatens Allister’s place in this world. Allister struggles to keep Britt a secret from the Eternal Council and out of the hands of the only Eternal who already knows the truth: the one who stole her guardian angel.

“You
were dead,” Allister agreed. “I touched you and brought you back, only it was
as something different than you were before.”
“Uh,
I kind of noticed,” I said, waving my hands around my body like a model showing
him the latest fashions. “And that little thing about being able to heal people
is new. So what did you bring me back as?” The words came out and I wanted to
catch them and shove them back into my mouth. Fear swelled within me as I
realized I wasn’t sure I wanted the truth...if it was bad.

Shaking
my head, I pushed away from his chest, hard. “No.”
The
force caused him to stagger backwards a few paces. He teetered on the edge of
the pit for a second as his eyes met mine and he toppled over backwards,
surprise filling his eyes.
“Allister,”
I shouted in horror, dropping to my hands and knees and scrambling to the edge
of the pit in time to see him splash into the lake below.
“Oh
my god,” I cried out.
