SERIES OVERVIEW 4 Books · 3 Protagonists · 1 Awakening

 ⭐ BOOK I — ANGEL OF RETRIBUTION: THE ORIGIN

Angelica is kidnapped shortly before giving birth.
Sam receives a forged note that leads him to believe she left him voluntarily.
Angelica gives birth in captivity.
A child with extraordinary neural resonance is born: Eva.
