Synopsis
And so it came to pass... Through science, faith and force of will, the Harmonics carved out for themselves a society that they conceived of as perfect. Diverse peoples held together by respect for each other and the prospect of swift punishment if they disobeyed their laws. Fertile land that embraced a variety of climates and seasons. Angels to guard the mortals, mystics to guard the forbidden knowledge and Jehovah to watch over them all... Generations later, the armed starship Jehovah still looms over the planet of Samaria, programmed to unleash its arsenal if peace is not sustained. But an age of corruption has come to the land, threatening that peace and placing the Samarians in grave danger. Their hope lies in the crowning of a new archangel. The oracles have chosen the angel Gabriel and further decreed that he must first wed a mortal woman named Rachel. It is his destiny and hers. Gabriel is certain she will greet the news of her bethrothal with enthusiasm and a devotion to duty equal to his own. Rachel has other ideas...
