"I have an incredible story to tell. It occurs during extraordinary times between two worlds that have grown complacent about God. There is a rebellion brewing on heaven and earth, and with the four horsemen saddling up, as 'end times' draw near, our two lives will be crucial to changing our worlds' course. Stay with me here because redemption is always worth it, especially when it comes to the salvation of two deeply broken beings, one who was transformed into the bringer of Death and collector of souls, and then there's me. Forever hiding from my disfigurement, unwilling to let go and live the life God has granted me. "“That is until I met Azrael.”
Tortured by an inner certainty that he is not a Binwalter, August struggles to discover his identity before Alzheimer's disease drags his mother into obliviion. Can he convince her to tell him the truth before it's too late?
An elite fighter. An ancient evil secretly gathering power for millennia. Can she stop it before Heaven itself is destroyed? I spent centuries longing to ascend from the rank of Guardian, and now that I'm a cobalt-winged, demon-fighting Nephil, things aren't as grand as I expected. Because of my mistake in London in 1888, nobody wants to be my partner. Worse, I can't stop screwing up my missions. When the demon Asorat aligns with Adolf Hitler and openly declares his intentions to invade Heaven, the Council of Seraphim needs all the fighters it can get. I’m tasked with preparing the most promising of new human-angel hybrids to attempt halting the Nazi party's growing power. As we train for battle, I grapple with the information I discovered decades ago: I'm a Cornerstone, created by the Source to defeat an ancient evil. However, no one—not even the Council—knows my ultimate purpose. But time is running out for me to figure out how to also oppose the secret and powerful Aleph. Will I embrace the destiny the Source created for me in time to stop it? Or will my failure bring about the end of Heaven itself? Warring Angel is the final book in the Fallen Redemption trilogy, featuring an angel coming into her power, an evil older than the Earth itself, and a war that will change the face of Heaven and Hell forever.

The second novel in the Strange Angels series picks up with Dru neatly tucked away in a Schola that's more like a prison than a secret training facility. Except for one tiny detail . . . she's the only girl in the place and is totally surrounded by tons of cute boys. But a traitor in the Order wants Dru dead and she can't trust anyone except for Graves. Too bad he's being kept busy with a new crew of wulfen teens and doesn't have time for her. As she learns the truth about who she can and can't trust, Dru's only hope may be to save herself - although the one gift that makes her special is draining away, and she doesn't know how to get it back. Will Dru survive long enough to find out who is really after her? Or is she destined for the same fate as her murdered parents? Lili's characters come alive on the page in a way that's visually stunning and she creates the same terrific pace, danger and teen romance as in Strange Angels.
As development overturns the landscape of North Carolina, tenth-grader Chris Fuller knows he’ll end up fighting Brandon, a new kid who just moved into the housing development that destroyed Chris’s beloved pine forest. Brandon turns out to be a real runner, far better than Chris, shows no respect for locals, and when it comes to a school project that has Chris baffled, slams his hand down and says, “It’s as good as done!” Chris needs an idea for the project, but mostly he’s trying to find a way to be talking to violinist Muriel. She makes the crazy suggestion he try talking to someone from the past, anyone who might give him an idea. But he’s pretty sure he’s already been spoken to, maybe by a mythological night sky jaguar, who asks, “Do you know how fire burns in water?” When Chris’s first idea falters and he gets desperate, the jaguar makes a way for Brandon’s troubled past and Chris’s faithfulness as a friend to cross paths and carry them to a new place of standing and friendship.
