A homeless musician, a blind painter, a boy who can photograph angels, a fiery cellist, a tarot card reader--all lovers, children, or grandchildren of fallen angels, and just a few of Abe's charges.  Fallen angels with wings of fire, wings of stone, wings of night--or dawn, or mirrors, or music--they walk invisibly through the city, just a few of Abe's enemies.

At first the half-breeds are unaware of each other, seven unique people muddling through their troubled, intertwined lives alone.  Until a young man, raised by angels, finds them all and they begin to spill their secrets.  Because only by coming together will the half-breeds be able to save Abe from those of the fallen who wish to kill him for his audacity.

Legacy - Book One of the Balancer Chronicles
by Chris Adonn
4.5 out of 5 stars on Amazon
Contemporary Fantasy


Legacy begins with Katrina (Kat) Blake’s return to her childhood home after a five year absence. She has come back with the sole intention of reading the letter her estranged grandmother (Rosemarie) left her, before she sells the estate—but it’s not that simple. The letter comes with a journal which promises to unveil all the mysteries surrounding her life which have confounded her for years. She soon realises that the account was not written by Rosemarie but by a man named James Blackburne, and according to him they are related.

James is a four-hundred year old immortal; a balancer. His primary function is to protect the natural world from supernatural entities. In an attempt to connect with Kat, and aid her in her adjustment to her new life, he tells her his life story, starting with his birth in 1625, his death in 1650 as well as his subsequent rebirth as a balancer and the adventures which ensue.

James’s story takes Kat on a journey she never imagined possible. He weaves a gripping tale of life, love, adventure and self-discovery which ensnares her interest and compels her to keep reading, but he does a lot more than that. He reaches across time and space to connect with her in the present, as well as explain the motivations behind her grandmother’s apparent cold dismissal of her when she was a sensitive and fragile girl of eighteen. For Kat this is a precious gift as the emotional wounds their parting inflicted have never really healed.
