Archangel’s light - Nalini Singh

A Guild Hunter novel - pocket - ISBN 9780593198148.

Illium and Aodhan. Aodhan and Illium. For centuries they’ve been inseparable: the best of friends, closer than brothers, companions of the heart. But that was before - before darkness befell Aodhan and shattered him, body, mind, and soul. Now, at long last, Aodhan is healing, but his newfound strength and independence may come at a devastating cost - his relationship with Illium.
As they serve side by side in China, a territory still marked by the evil of its former archangel, the secret it holds nightmarish beyond imagining, things come to an explosive decision point. Illium and Aodhan must either walk away from the relationship that has defined them - or step forward into a future that promises a bond infinitely precious in the life of an immortal…but that demands a terrifying vulnerability from two badly bruised hearts.
