Aeron rescued Legion from hell and has since protected her and treated her like a daughter. This is the reason the angels are going to kill him. But first Olivia, the angel in love with him, gets 10 days to experience humanity with Aeron before another angel will kill him for his transgression of releasing a demon from hell. Of course, Legion and Olivia hate each other and fight continuously. Poor Aeron, he is torn between his "daughter who now wants to be his wife" and Olivia, who he's been warned off of upon threat of, well, death. Interestingly enough neither Olivia or Legion irritate his demon Wrath. Amazingly enough, Wrath loves Olivia immediately. Of course, this is a sure sign of a soul mate.

This book features Aeron, Olivia and Legion but it also focuses on the war with the Hunters, Galen particularly. Lots of God and angel interference in everything. I was disappointed in the ending but we'll see how Showalter works that into the next installment.
