Excerpt from the book:
Strong arms wrap tightly around my waist and tug me back to a warm, muscular chest. Asher lifts his hand and moves my hair to one side, over my shoulder, so he can have access to my neck. I tilt my head to the right, making it easy for his lips to gently brush the sensitive skin under my left ear before leaving a trail of soft kisses.
“Someday, when this is all over, I promise you’ll have the peace you’re craving. It will be just me and you, siren,” he vows quietly.
I sigh in contentment. “That’s all I want, Ash.”
“Then I’ll move Heaven and earth to make sure you get it."
I turn to face him and push up on my tiptoes. Leaning in, I give him a slow, molten kiss. I push everything I feel for him into the gesture. I want to fill every space of his soul, the way he does mine.
It’s like I’m trying to climb inside his heart and live there. I’m not sure how long we stay like this, in our own private, perfect moment, but I never want to leave.
Breathlessly, I pull away. My eyes find Asher’s. “What is it you want the most?”
Asher’s intense gaze holds mine, taking my breath away. “Redemption.”

The Inspiration For The Revelation Series
by Randi Cooley Wilson
The Revelation Series was inspired by my love of John Milton’s epic 17th century poem Paradise Lost. In college, I was a bit obsessed with the piece of literature and did several theses on it. As a matter of fact, in each of the books within the series, there is a quote, by the English poet, from Paradise Lost, that inspired that particular novel’s plotline.
If you’re unfamiliar with the poem, it’s written with two narrative arcs, one that follows Satan and the other that follows Adam and Eve. I’ve always been drawn to the arc that followed Adam and Eve because of Milton’s take on their relationship. He wrote it full of temptation and passion, while portraying Adam as a hero, and Eve as forbidden. Even with those distinctions, the poem depicts love in its rawest form, two people bound together, pulled apart by desire and sacrifice.
I started to think about what it would be like to be Eve in this situation. What sacrifices would I have to make? Am I in love, or just bound by desire for someone? What would it be like to have someone be completely infatuated with me, while being true to themselves and their oaths and beliefs? Like Milton’s Eve, what would it be like to be far from the traditional damsel in distress, but strong, intelligent and curious? A heroine, who longs for knowledge, is beautiful but suffocated by Adam’s continued presence, instead of submitting to it. From there, the worlds, characters and storyline for The Revelation Series just began to unfold.
Once the storyline was unfurled, I then began to incorporate my love for architecture and design into the story. After plotting, I knew I wanted to touch on Heaven, Hell, Demons and Angels, as Milton did with his second narrative, the Angelic War over Heaven, however, I really wanted to tell the story in a new way. With new worlds, new demons and entire new supernatural protector breed.
In my research, I kept going back to the lore of gargoyles and how they are protectors. After a while, it just seemed seamless that they would be the supernatural creatures to vessel the story. Once they were in place, everything else just came to be. I started scribbling characters and back-stories, plotlines and dialogue. What started out as a creative outlet to relieve stress turned into a slight obsession and the series and characters began to shape and take life and this series was born.
