When
seventeen-year-old Anya finds out she’s actually an angel being trained to
protect humanity, she discovers that becoming an angel has nothing to do with
wings and haloes. For Anya, becoming an angel has to do with death—her death.
Micah,
the angelic soldier ordered to protect her until she transitions from human to
angel, promises her death will be a glorious experience as long as she follows
his rules. But getting Anya through this life and to the next isn’t as simple
as Micah expects. His job becomes even more difficult after he unwittingly
performs a miracle that exposes Anya’s hidden angelic light.
With her
secret out, Hell’s legions begin targeting her. Unfortunately, Hell’s minions
are the least of Micah’s worries. He’s more concerned about the forbidden human
emotions he’s developed toward Anya.
Even more troubling, is she seems to love him too. And giving in to
those feelings, could mean dire consequences for them both.

Excerpt from Adorned
Copyright © Georgeann Swiger 2013
Micah sits in the
chair at the head of the table. He lowers his head and mouths something under
his breath before snatching the fork from the table.
“What
happened to you?” I ask. “Did you change your mind about running away?”
“I
didn’t run away.”
When he lifts
meatloaf to his mouth, I pull his plate toward me. “I’m tired of waiting for
you to tell me what’s going on.”
He swallows. “I’m
from the Triad.”
“Is
that a foster home?”
“What’s
a foster home?” He tastes his mashed potatoes.. “Aren’t you going to eat
anything?”
“I’m
not hungry. Just tell me what’s going on.”
After he chugs his
iced tea, he gets up and squats in front of me, balancing on his toes. No
emotion crosses his face. The odd vibration in the room sends a tremor over my
skin. Something’s off. When Micah
finally speaks, his voice is flat and emotionless. “I am an angel of the Lord,
and your new guardian, here to escort you into the Kingdom of Heaven.”
I stare at him
until the truth dawns on me. Micah’s crazy. How did I not see it to begin with?
No sane person would be running around naked in a thunderstorm. That old Simon
guy was probably with some mental asylum. He should have put Micah in a
straightjacket when he had the chance. Now I’m locked in the dining room with a
big strong psycho.
“Aren’t
you going to say anything?” The scar in his Micah’s eyebrow deepens when he
tilts his head to the side to study me. “When you enter the Kingdom you’ll
become an angel.” He seems at ease, like a serial killer waiting to strike. “I
intend to make your human death the most wonderful experience of your life.”
“My…human
death?” Even though my voice cracks, I manage to force myself to smile. I glance
at the locked doors and slowly scoot my chair away from the table.
He touches my
knee. “I’m happy to tell you, you won’t be stuck here much longer.”
When I think
enough distance is between us, I use all my strength to shove him down and run
for the door.
When I look over
my shoulder, Micah gets to his feet, glaring at me.
“Stay
away from me!” My trembling hand can’t get the key to cooperate. I keep trying
to get the key in the lock, but it slips out of my sweaty fingers and drops to
the floor. I pound on the door. “Aunt Celeste!” I scream.
When I look back,
Micah sits at the table, flicking his finger on the butter knife, making it
spin it like an airplane propeller. His lips form a tight line. He slams his
hand on the table, causing the butter knife to fall to the floor. “Sit. Down.
Anya.”
“Aunt
Celeste, help me!”
