Welcome to Litsy!

Suspended by chains over a seemingly bottomless abyss, the ancient city of Deepgate is home to a young angel, an assassin, and a psychotic murderer hungry for revenge�or redemption. But soon a shocking betrayal will unite all three in a desperate quest.... The last of his line, Dill is descended from legendary Battle-archons who once defended the city. Forbidden to fly and untrained even to wield the great sword inherited from his forebears, he has become a figurehead for a dying tradition. Now he lives a sheltered existence in one of Deepgate�s crumbling temple spires under the watchful eye of the Presbyter who rules the city. Spine assassin Rachel Hael has better things to do than oversee the Presbyter�s angel. Each dark moon she must fight for her life among the city chains, hunting an immortal predator with a taste for blood. But when a traitor brings enemies to Deepgate�s doorstep, Dill and Rachel are forced into an uneasy alliance with the city�s oldest and most dangerous foe. They must journey down into the uncharted chasm to save their sprawling metropolis�and themselves�from annihilation. Once they descend however, they learn that what lies below is far more sinister than what they�ve been taught to expect. From the Hardcover edition.
