an angel to lend
A Novel by Sivan Kish
Nikita Kuznetsov had everything a man could dream of. Then he died.
On Christmas Eve, at the height of a dazzling life of fame, music, women, and excess, Nikita Nathaniel Kuznetsov is declared clinically dead.
He expects darkness.
Instead, he gets Nelo.
His sharp-tongued guardian angel arrives in tattered clothes, with one broken wing, to escort him to the World of Truth, where Nikita will stand trial for the life he has lived. But there is a catch: before judgment can be passed, he must watch his entire life unfold before him like a three-dimensional film.
Every triumph. Every betrayal. Every person he forgot.
And one woman he never should have left behind.
Her name is Anastasia.
She was the first person who ever truly loved him. The girl who protected him when he was a lonely six-year-old boy. The woman who waited for him after he left Russia for America. And the keeper of a secret so enormous that discovering it will shatter everything Nikita believed about his own life.
Because while Nikita was becoming a star, Anastasia was paying the price for his dream.
Now he wants only one thing.
To go back.
But second chances are not given freely, and before Nikita can return to the woman he lost, he will have to answer the most difficult question of his life:
What would you give for one more chance to save the person you love?
Spanning decades, continents, and the mysterious border between life and death, An Angel to Lend is a sweeping story of first love, unbearable sacrifice, forgiveness, and redemption—with an unforgettable guardian angel who may be far less useless than he appears.
