The Crippled Angel. Sara Douglass

      The Crippled Angel

      Book Three of the Crucible Trilogy

      Sara Douglass

      The Crippled Angel is dedicated, fittingly, to the bestest bunch of Apostolic Wreakers of Havoc ever: Alana, Corey, Craig, Elizabeth, Justin, Karmela, Mark C, Matt, Matthew, Michelle J, Michelle L, Patrick, Tanya and particularly to Tracey who has so obligingly taken over the reins of Tyranny whenever I felt a tad fragile. Thank you all so much for your help.

      With thanks to Rachel Smallman for her vision of heaven, and to Stephanie Smith and all the team at HarperCollinsPublishers Australia for seeing me through to the end of another trilogy.

      He married his wife on Sunday

      Beat her well on Monday,

      Bad was she on Tuesday,

      Middling was she on Wednesday,

      Worse was she on Thursday,

      Dead was she on Friday;

      Glad was he on Saturday night,

      To bury his wife on Sunday,

      And take a new wife on Monday,

      To beat her on the Tuesday.
