Paula Weston lives in Brisbane with her husband, a retired greyhound and a moody cockatiel. Great writing, heart-burning characters, probing questions about where technology is taking us-and a plot that zips and zings like an electrical current itself. Paula Weston, author of the much-admired Rephaim series, returns with a standalone work: a futuristic thriller that is only slightly futuristic-but utterly and undeniably thrilling. Now Gaby has discovered she is one of the Rephaim - descended from fallen angels. She was slowly getting over the death of her twin brother, Jude. But then an explosive attack on a city building by an unknown enemy throws them together in the most violent and unexpected way.
