End of Days (Penryn & the End of Days, #3)

by Susan Ee

I take a deep breath. “For you gang members out there—how long do you think you can last on your own? We could use some good street soldiers.” It hits me that I sound like Obi. “We’re all on the same side. What’s the point of you surviving today when tomorrow they’ll just come and wipe you guys out? Why not band together and have a real shot? At the very least, let’s go out with a bang and show them what we’re made of. Come join the fight at the Bay Bridge.” I steel my voice. “Angels, if you’re listening, everyone will know you’re shameful cowards if you go after the helpless ones. There would be no glory in that, and you’ll just embarrass yourselves during the blood hunt. The real fight will be at the East Bay Bridge. Everyone worth fighting will be there, and I promise we’ll have a good show for you. I challenge you to come find us.” I pause, not sure how to end it. “This is Penryn Young, Daughter of Man, Killer of Angels.”
