The stranger’s cloak had fallen back, and with it, a long, white, blood-stained wing.
When Melaia, a young priestess, witnesses the gruesome murder of a stranger in the temple courtyard, age-old legends recited in song suddenly come to life. She discovers wings on the stranger, and the murderer takes the shape of both a hawk and a man.
Angels. Shape-shifters. Myths and stories—until now.
Melaia finds herself in the middle of a blood feud between two immortal brothers who destroyed the stairway to heaven, stranding angels in the earthly realm. When the feud turns violent and Melaia becomes a target, she finds refuge with a band of angels attempting to restore the stairway. But the restoration is impossible without the repayment of an ancient debt—the “breath of angel, blood of man,” a payment that involves Melaia’s heart, soul, and destiny.

I don't think I read straight fantasy, but my top 3 Urban Fantasy: Charlaine Harris, Patricia Briggs and Ilona Andrews.
ReplyDeleteI don't remember reading any of Karyn's top 10, though many of the names are very familiar. I tried to read Funke's Inkheart when the movie came out, but I couldn't finish it.

I'm more of an Urban Fantasy fan too. Kelley Armstrong, Ilona Andrews, Kim Harrison, and Patricia Briggs are some of my favorites. I do love J.K. Rowling though.
