Return to Sanctuary · #2
In Sarah Gilman’s lush sequel to Out in Blue, complex and engaging characters tell a tale of redemption, love, and the power of trust to heal all.
Kidnapped by humans as a child, raised in a research facility and taught to believe that all demons and fallen archangels are insidious and violent, Jett wants nothing to do with his own kind. But a friendship with the archangel Raphael shatters Jett’s reality to pieces. Caught between two worlds, he lingers on the fringes of Sanctuary.
When a demon child is taken from the colony, though, Jett must pursue the human kidnappers, realizing along the way they are from the same prison where he spent his childhood. Jett joins forces with the Guardians and a civilian demon female — the kidnapped child’s older sister, Lexine.
Lexine, meanwhile, is fighting internal demons of her own: prophetic dreams that foretell that she’ll mate with a poacher. All the recent vision entails, though, is a tattoo, an exact replica the one Jett unsuccessfully tried to scrap from his skin. Now, Lexine and Jett must each overcome their fears of the past and the future, in order to save life as they know it.
