In Samaria, the fate of the world rests on the voice of an angel…

What is the Samaria series about?

Written by American novelist Sharon Shinn, the Samaria books are blends of SF, fantasy, and romance and depict a society divided into two classes: the mortals and the angels. And above the planet of Samaria looms the starship and god Jehovah, who can only be communicated through the songs of the angels.

Because their ancestors fled centuries ago from the violence of a war-torn planet, harmony is prized among all people.

But sometimes the divine music of the angels is not enough to prevent conflict among mortals-and sometimes the god can’t even hear the angels singing.

The Samaria Novels

  1. Archangel – Every twenty years, a new Archangel is chosen to govern the land of Samaria. But Gabriel, the Archangel-elect, finds himself constantly feuding with Rachel, the bride who has been chosen for him by Jovah-and he is slowly coming to realize that the aging Archangel Raphael has no intention of giving up his power, even if it means all of Samaria could be destroyed.
  2. Jovah’s Angel – More than a hundred years after the time of Rachel and Gabriel, Samaria is in deep turmoil. Charismatic Archangel Delilah has been injured and forced to give up her position, and she has been replaced by shy, uncertain Alleluia. What’s worse, ungovernable storms are sweeping across the country, and the god never seems to hear the angels’ pleas to abate the bad weather. Unless those prayers are offered by the new Archangel…
  3. The Alleluia Files – Legend has it that the Alleluia Files contain the truth about the god of Samaria. Now, a child raised in captivity among the angels will journey the length and breadth of her world to seek the documents that will alter the face of Samaria forever…

  1. Angelica – Two hundred years ago, the god Jovah created a legion of land dwelling angels, led by an appointed Archangel. Now, Jovah has a new appointee: Archangel Gaaron.

But there is a terrible threat besetting the land-and the true hearts of Archangel and Angelica may never be known.
  2. Angel-Seeker – Forced to live as a servant in her cousin’s household, the once-wealthy Elizabeth, determined to transform her life, journeys to Cedar Hills in the hope that she can attract the attention of an angel, while Rebekah, a member of the Jansai tribe who has been raised to hate the angels, comes to the aid of an injured angel near her village, in the sequel to Archangel. 15,000 first printing.
