Angel Caste Book 2 – Angel Breath https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B06XFC4XMX
If Viv’s life on the streets has taught her anything, it’s not to waste time on regrets. It’s a lesson hammered home when her beautiful guide, the angel Thris, proves to be as violent as the other men she’s known. She continues the quest for her mother alone but the new worlds she stumbles into, prove as dangerous as the old.
When she’s attacked by ferocious cat-creatures, Thris speeds to her aid, and is all but torn apart. Viv’s never had much faith in God, but as she cradles Thris’s bloodied body, she prays He’s made angels immortal. Thris’s friends, Ash and Ky, make a desperate dash through the Rynth to his aid, and when they bear him away, Viv never expects to see him again.
Thris and his friends have their own journeys to complete, but achieving transcendence proves perilous. His body healed by higher order angels, Thris is forced back into the Rynth by his mentor and Viv’s father, the cold and calculating Archae Kald. As Thris’s appointed Shadow, Ky must go too, but fear devours him and Thris’s health remains fragile.
Viv is overjoyed when Thris finds her again but is disturbed by his strangeness. She journeys with him and Ky but they are attacked and Viv finds herself alone in a war zone. Desperate to escape the carnage, she’s determined to take the next rift out, but when she discovers the chance for redemption, she stays.
Will Viv at last rid herself of the unbearable guilt she carries? Or will the chance of redemption cost her everything, including her life?

Viv discovers that surviving in an alien world is a hell of a lot tougher than simply passing through it. And now she has a child to care for, as well herself.

Aid comes from an unexpected quarter, but Viv is forced to make a terrible bargain to secure their release. They continue in their search for safety, but the line between friend and foe becomes increasingly blurred.
Affection grows between Viv and the little girl she calls Poss, but as they continue their hazardous journey, disaster strikes. They are overtaken by enemy fighters and are separated.

Prevented from executing her on the spot, the leader condemns her to a slower, more painful death.
Ky has been traumatized by his time in alien worlds, and as Thris struggles to care for him, they end up imprisoned in a world where the only way out is a death-trap. All their hopes lie in Ash, but Ash is trapped too, and unaware of their plight.
