# 13) Angelica by Sharon Shinn

This is the second book in this series I have read, but it is not book two of the series. It is a rather interesting world where there are people born with wings living along with those who are regular humans. Watching over things from above is "Jovah," their god, who brought them to that planet several centuries before - and who is secretly a space ship.

The soon to be installed Archangel needs to wed before the upcoming Gloria is to be sung. Unfortunately love is slow to bloom between the Archangel elect and his intended Angelica. Of even greater concern is unknown raiders with incinerating weapons on the attack killing people and then vanishing. But if the Archangel and the Angelica do not lead the people in singing the Gloria to show that everyone is united in peaceful harmony the god will destroy the land.
