Tread of angels
(Book)

The year is 1883, and the mining town of Goetia is booming as prospectors from near and far come to mine the powerful new element Divinity from the high mountains of Colorado with the help of the pariahs of society known as the Fallen. The Fallen are the descendants of demonkind living among the Virtues, the winners in an ancient war, with the descendants of both sides choosing to live alongside Abaddon's mountain in this tale of the mythological West from the best-selling mastermind Rebecca Roanhorse.

1883. The mining town of Goetia is booming as prospectors from near and far come to mine the powerful new element Divinity from the high mountains of Colorado. The Fallen are the descendants of demonkind living among the Virtues, the winners in an ancient war. The descendants of both sides have chosen to live alongside Abaddon's mountain. Celeste and Mariel are two Fallen sisters, raised in separate worlds: Celeste in the privileged Elect society; Mariel in the Fallen slums. When Mariel is accused of murdering a Virtue, Celeste and her ex-lover, Abraxas, set out to prove Mariel's innocence. -- adapted from jacket
