REVIEWS"Herald is a beautifully written fantasy with original story-telling and memorable characters. It is imaginative, descriptive and addictively page-turning!" - Sonia Faruqi, bestselling author of The Oyster Thief and Project Animal Farm."J. Edwards Stone brings to life Herald, a new modern approach to the traditional apocalypse mythology. Her novel features Larin, a young woman with a modern take on romance and female survivorship.It has it all—angels, romance, friendship, betrayal, and great world building. Sure to appeal to readers from a variety of backgrounds, Herald is not to be missed."- Amanda Anderson, Asst. Prof of English, Delaware State University "In "Herald," J. Edwards Stone has catapulted the genre of young adult fantasy fiction to epic and unparalleled heights. Through Larin, heroine extraordinaire, readers are ushered on an exquisite journey where humans and archangels, heaven and hell, past and present intersect in the most provocative of ways."- Goodreads Reviewer"The worlds within "Herald" are magnificent and so expertly imagined that one feels effortlessly transported from the very first page. The battle that closes this first book in the "A War of Black Feathers " trilogy is so utterly satisfying that the second and third book can't come soon enough! Hollywood take note, you will find your next Blockbuster in "Herald."- Goodreads Reviewer"I cannot rave enough about this fantastic and poetic journey! J Edwards Stone has a gorgeous style of prose that immediately draws you in and breathes life into both the beautiful story and the amazing world she's built."- Goodreads Reviewer"Fun, action-filled, greatly developed in every sense, I really enjoyed Herald. I think it’s a gem amongst the fantasy genre."- Goodreads ReviewerPRODUCT DESCRIPTIONEighteen-year-old Larin Thompson was a product of abuse and neglect, thinking her life couldn’t get anymore complicated than hiding the scars of her past from the eyes of her friends. But the sudden emergence of strange black wings from her body make her previous difficulties seem ...insignificant. Meanwhile, Azrael, known as “the Angel of Death” by the humans he has sought to destroy, has found a weapon. One that will shift the balance in a war that has raged in the shadows since the dawn of time. Azrael is awakening of an army of vessels – hybrid soldiers who are neither man nor Angel. By capturing them as they awaken, Azrael hopes to strengthen his dark army, and eventually find and unleash his brother, Lucifer, upon the world.Larin's unique characteristics separate her from other vessels, and the Divine Council takes notice –archangels whose sole purpose has been to protect man from Azrael's sinister machinations. They come to believe she is the Herald of their lost leaders, the Seraphim - powerful beings who could prevent Lucifer’s dominion upon the world once more.Amidst the chaos and confusion of her new life, Larin finds comfort in one council member in particular: the Archangel, Michael. Pulled towards each other in a way they cannot understand, Larin finds in Michael both a friend and confidante, and perhaps a missing piece of her heart. Larin is thrust into an ancient battle between good and evil, one in which she will play a pivotal role in either saving humanity or seeing it destroyed. The choice to rise to her place as Herald, leading the Divine Council to the reawakening of the Seraphim, or accepting an enticing offer from Azrael, is suddenly presented. Larin learns that “good” and “evil” are not as black and white as she was taught to believe. The war will inevitably reach its apex in a battle that transcends Heaven and Earth, either resulting in the return of glorious Eden, or seeing lost forever under a cloak of irreversible darkness.
