Darin Wyatt spent thirty-nine mortal years being the kind of man everyone assumed would find a wife eventually. He never did. Then Christ split the sky, and Darin came down glorified, ageless - his old loneliness folded into a body that would never age again, his old job handed back as an honor: rebuilding the grid across the Western Reach. What it didn't answer was what a heart still does with wanting someone, if there's no marriage in the resurrection.
That someone is his new administrator. Adara isn't glorified out of the Tribulation like Darin - she's resurrected out of the world's first age, a chieftain's daughter who died refusing to be traded to men already reaching for power the fallen ones offered. She makes other glorified saints feel ordinary. Darin can't imagine what she'd want with a lineman who once couldn't get a second date. Months of ordinary work rebuilding a corner of the world together say otherwise.
Underneath their slow-building bond, something older than both of them is stirring - a Nephilim survivor sabotaging the Reach's restoration one toppled tower at a time. It's Adara's ancient memory and Darin's engineer's eye, together, that start closing in on what's really out there.
A love that needed no altar to be real - and a God who joins two hearts Himself.
