Broken Angel

What if the last person who could save you had already given up on themself?A century after angels were exiles to live a hundred generations on Earth, their mythical standing has self destructed. Mirth makes way for practicality. He never expected to end up as a private detective. Once driven by purpose, he's now surviving one disappointing day at a time, scraping together enough work to stay afloat while wrestling with failures he'd rather forget. The traumas of getting booted from paradise can weigh heavy on dingy wings. Cynical, worn down, and quietly haunted by a life that he barely remembers. He's one bad week away from walking away from it all. Then an enigmatic client arrives with an impossible request. Travel into the past. Recover a priceless family heirloom. Return before history notices it was ever gone. What begins as a simple retrieval quickly becomes a labyrinth of secrets, unexpected dangers, and questions with no easy answers. The closer he comes to solving the mystery, the more he is forced to confront something far more elusive than the missing artifact: himself. Blending noir detective fiction, time travel, and a fresh take on angels, this thought-provoking novel explores redemption, resilience, and the quiet courage it takes to face a life when hope seems lost. Filled with mystery, heart, and surprising turns, it invites readers on a journey where every question matters-and some of the greatest discoveries can never be held in your hands. Sometimes the hardest mystery to solve... is the one waiting inside us.
