The Angel Sanction

by Tabatha Bell

Description Genesis Helms has lived in Zone Four of the Angel Sanction her entire life. Zone Four is known for being the most dangerous Partial (imperfect people) area of the Sanction next to the mysterious, quarantined Zone Five. From being orphaned on the day of her birth to seventeen years later being mistreated by the residents of Fault, that conception of her home became a horrid fact of her life. Forbidden to be in public when the white-clad Ideal (perfect people) scoutsmen of Center Angel Sanction make their regular trip into town, Gena is faced with her fate of being a Partial for the rest of her life from the pleas of her best friend, Roman, or taking the hand of the handsome Ayce McCarthey and venturing within the White Walls to live the life she has dreamed of. When her usually chaotic world suddenly becomes muted and peaceful, Gena finds herself becoming complacent as she dives head first into the Trials that determine if she is truly meant for life as an Ideal within the Angel Sanction. High up at the top of the Sanction hierarchy, the composed, smooth-talking Chancellor Sawyer Delvalle uses War, the threatening, muzzled leader of the Angel Sanction police force, known as the Saints, to keep an eye out for her. As she stands firm in her choice, her new world becomes muddled with deception and impossibilities that will soon rock the foundation of her reality. As layers of her small piece of the world come unraveled, she must make the choice between her safety or her values when her newfound friends, Ayce, Hale, and Eden, show her that even the most unexpected of people could have secrets far more dangerous than she could ever anticipate.
