The Enemy of Heaven (The Heaven Trilogy, #1)

"In a kingdom ruled by angels, falling for a demon is treason." As an angel prince of Heaven, Raphael has spent his youth fighting for demon rights, which has made him a thorn in his traditional family‘s side. His social justice efforts remain fruitless for years until the fateful night he meets Dante—a demon with dangerous abilities. Finally seeing a chance for success, Raphael recruits Dante as his royal guard, scandalizing the royal court, and turns him into his most trusted ally in a mission to dethrone his tyrannical father, the King of Heaven. Dante has always despised angels, but after Prince Raphael saves him from unjust execution, he willingly joins his insane plan for a coup. Being the only demon living among angels used to be repelling, yet in Raphael, he sees hope for the first time. But they‘re playing a dangerous game. Death and betrayal lurk in every shadow of the royal court. Can Dante protect Raphael long enough for him to ignite real change? How does a coup make the world a better place? And what does it mean for the Kingdom of Heaven when an angel and a demon dare to fall for each other? A queer romantic fantasy full of forbidden love, court politics, and an angel/demon power couple that defies Heaven itself. Finalist of the 2023 Indies Today Awards.
