A throne of bone. Angels with broken wings. A prophecy that demands blood.

The night Callie's mother is murdered on a London street, her world ends. But grief is only the beginning. A single feather, blackened and still warm, draws her into a conspiracy older than Christianity itself — a war fought in whispers, relics, and catacombs that breathe.

Callie is no chosen hero. She's a girl who lost everything. But when her search for answers uncovers forbidden manuscripts, cults who wield obsidian blades, and a throne where something chained and decaying still whispers her name, she can't turn back. Every secret she uncovers costs her more — her blood, her sanity, even her memories.

Together with Max, the loyal friend who hides his fear behind sarcasm, and Emmy, the brilliant hacker who trusts logic more than faith, Callie follows the trail from London streets to Glastonbury ruins, Vatican archives, and French catacombs steeped in centuries of death. At every step, the prophecy tightens its grip:

Blood will open the first gate.

Bone will open the second.

Flesh shall be the third.

And the tongue of unmaking will speak the fourth.

Piece by piece, the gates demand sacrifice. Piece by piece, Callie is becoming something less than human. And when the Fifth Awakening comes, she may be the only one left who can decide whether the world burns — or kneels.

Shards of Heaven is a haunting dark fantasy thriller that blends myth, horror, and conspiracy into an epic tale of sacrifice and obsession. Perfect for fans of Leigh Bardugo's Ninth House, Neil Gaiman's American Gods, and readers of gothic fantasy who like their angels sharp, broken, and hungry.
