Rogue God - Rick Waugh

Angels don't say things like that....

Cantor doesn't want to go see the angel, even though she's supposed to enhance his sparse magical skills; the process sometimes fails, badly, ending in insanity, or death. Unfortunately, the summons comes as a compulsion that can't be ignored, so he gives in, and heads off.

But when he arrives, things are not as they're supposed to be. Angels are generally quiet, calm, and sure of themselves; Robin is angry and sarcastic. Worse, her magic is a chaotic mess, leaving her as likely to turn him into a rock as any kind of mage. Neither can angels move; they wait, motionless, dispensing power to those who dare the monster filled woods to reach them. She's certainly not supposed to follow Cantor when he leaves, but the strange, broken magic infecting her has bound them together. Protesting and sniping at each other, they head off into the wilderness, him walking, her following along behind.

Someone, or something, has twisted the laws of magic. Can Cantor and Robin find who's responsible and break the curse? And can they survive each other's company long enough to do so?

Epic action and adventure, found family, a trickster goddess and her dragon shifter, tied up with splashes of (very) slow burn romance and humor.
