Featherfall

Jerry IbbotsonThere's an angel living in suburban York. He's turned his back on his old life to become a husband and father. But darkness threatens and his old boss wants him back in the fold. Angry, jealous Gods are after him, to fulfil a prophecy that would unstitch creation. There's another on his trail: an ancient guardian of this land who's hunting an angel for reasons of his own. Who will reach him first, and at what cost? The answer will come at Midsummer, in the shadow of the mighty Minster. Featherfall is coming; the future of humanity hangs in the balance.
