How Renegade Angels Began
Sylvia Day, a #1 New York Times bestselling author known for her Crossfire series, launched Renegade Angels in 2011 with a vision to blend gritty paranormal elements with sizzling romance. Inspired by her love for complex characters and supernatural lore, Day crafted a world where celestial beings and cursed creatures navigate love and betrayal. The series kicked off with a prequel novella, A Dark Kiss of Rapture, setting the stage for a trilogy that’s as dark as it is romantic.
Day’s knack for weaving emotional depth with fantastical settings made Renegade Angels stand out in the crowded paranormal romance genre. Her goal? To create a saga where love is both a weapon and a salvation, set against a backdrop of eternal conflict.
The Heart of Renegade Angels
The series unfolds through three main novels and a couple of novellas, each diving deeper into the power struggles among angels, vampires (fallen angels), and lycans. A Touch of Crimson (2011) introduces Adrian Mitchell, a powerful angel leading the Seraphim to punish fallen angels turned vampires. His forbidden love for Lindsay, who carries the soul of his lost love Shadoe, sets the stage for a saga of duty versus desire.
A Hunger So Wild (2012) shifts focus to Elijah Reynolds, a dominant lycan alpha, and Vashti, a fierce vampire. Their enemies-to-lovers arc sizzles with primal chemistry as they navigate a lycan revolt and a fragile alliance. The trilogy’s third book, A Taste of Seduction (2013), was meant to conclude the saga, but remains on hold due to publishing constraints, leaving fans eager for closure. Themes of redemption, forbidden love, and the cost of power weave through the series, all set in a richly imagined world where celestial hierarchies clash with earthly passions.
Day’s writing is raw and sensual, balancing action-packed plots with emotional depth. The series’ unique take on supernatural beings—angels as enforcers, vampires as fallen rebels, and lycans as indentured warriors—creates a fresh spin on paranormal romance, perfect for readers who love their romance with a side of danger.
