  The Island of Doctor Moreau is an 1896 science fiction novel written by H. G. Wells, addressing ideas of society and community, human nature and identity, religion, Darwinism, and eugenics.When the novel was written in the late 19th century, England's scientific community was engulfed by debates on animal vivisection. Interest groups were even formed to tackle the issue: the British Union for the Abolition of Vivisection was formed two years after the publication of the novel. The novel is presented as a discovered manuscript, introduced by the narrator's nephew; it then 'transcribes' the tale. (Summary from Wikipedia)

  He would stop at nothing to have her, but would her heart survive loving a SIN? 
  Being the archangel of selflessness got me kicked out of my home. I’d spent my entire existence guiding those to give of themselves and help their fellow angels. Even when Lucifer marched on Heaven’s gate, I once more attempted to get those I called family to see a better way. Sadly, Father didn’t see that, and I was cast out of Heaven to be forever trapped on Earth, or worse, in Hell. 
  If Father wanted to cast me out and turn me into this symbol, the Sin of Greed, I would not only accept the challenge as Riker—I’d own it. 
  And then I met her, and the world once more shifted beneath my feet. 
  Minetta wanted nothing more than to have a normal life and do something that made her feel proud. Working as a 911 operator gave her that feeling, but something was always missing from her life. Until one day, she unwittingly became the pawn in a chess match she never knew existed. 
  A deadly war was brewing that had been waged for centuries and could mean the end for humanity. Pulled into the middle of this tug-of-war, she met him, Riker. The man was imposing, but the Sin under the sexy exterior was terrifying, and yet her heart still pounded hard when he was near. 
  Could Minetta have love and save the human race, or would she have to choose?

  The Book of Shadow was found, but the quest continues… 
  Llyris Fildarae is still reeling with the news of her heritage imparted by an old man claiming to be the great mage Amnayel Prisma—doubtful, though he’s proven able to perform unusual wonders even a magik couldn’t. He cured a boy, yet now demands a stave to aid in healing a fallen knight. 
  The quest she and her companions embark on requires them to travel to the Obsidian Fields, a place no one has visited since time immemorial. Even Prisma himself—if that is who he is—cannot tell them what it may look like or what to expect once there. 
  What dangers will they face? Magic? Deadly curses? The undead again? 
  No one knows. Not even a Shadow Scarred.
