Klappentext

The Light Between Wounds is a dazzling urban romantasy that is perfect for fans of The Serpent and the Wings of Night , City of Gods and Monsters , Crescent City and From Blood and Ash.

When a young chronically ill woman's father is killed, she discovers her true heritage and the powers that come with it, all while finding herself at the center of an ancient battle between angels, demons, and the four horsemen of the apocalypse in the heart of New York City.

Lyraël has spent her life fighting a body that constantly betrays her. Living with a chronic illness that twists her joints and floods her days with pain, she survives by clinging to routine and the people she loves: her restaurant job, her best friend Hoshiko, her kind-hearted father Raphael, and her brooding boss Domenico, whose touch lingers too close for comfort. But when her father is murdered, Lyra learns that the world she's known is only a veil- one that hides monsters, magic, and the truth about who she really is.

The power buried in her blood is ancient and catastrophic. It also might be the only thing standing between her and a fate worse than death. As her latent magic awakens in flashes of holy fire and unbearable light, both divine and demonic forces begin closing in. Hunted by celestial enforcers and infernal demons who want to use her as a vessel for the end of days, Lyra is forced to descend into a hidden supernatural world of succubi, soul markets, and secrets written in flame.

But even divine fire can't cauterize the wounds of the heart. Torn between the demon she's always loved and the truth her father died to protect, Lyra must confront the terrifying possibility that her body - forever her greatest weakness - may be the only thing holding the world together...or tearing it apart.
