Los personajes de Falsa guerra son náufragos en tierra firme, varados en zona de nadie. Algunos quieren marcharse de Cuba y no pueden, otros se fueron y nunca acabaron de llegar del todo. Viven en una especie de limbo, en un impasse perpetuo entre la realidad y el deseo, entre el pasado y el futuro, entre el país de origen y el de destino, a la espera de una promesa, una confirmación o, simple y llanamente, una tregua. Algo que les siga recordando que la vida es posible. ¿Qué diferencia hay entre un inmigrante, un exiliado y un refugiado? Abocados al caos, a la angustia o al hastío, los desplazados perennes son asediados por un mundo que a cada paso –en ese simulacro de avance hacia el espejismo de la sociedad de consumo– les recuerda que no existe un lugar para ellos. En esta novela coral, los personajes parecen moverse con desparpajo nómada entre Cuba, Estados Unidos, México, Francia o Alemania, si bien todos ellos se hallan paralizados, inmersos en una falsa guerra que se libra en virtud de ninguna verdadera pasión, de ninguna auténtica idea.
When she learns about an opportunity to free her mother from Demon City, she takes it. No matter how dangerous, Brielle will do anything to unite her family in Angel City. All is going according to plan, until her brother's awakening ceremony. What he is…it shocks everyone, and he's sent away until he can get his powers under control.
When Brielle loses someone precious to her, she goes to great lengths to get them back, lengths Lincoln doesn't agree with. He thinks Brielle is too much of a risk taker—too wild, and all he can do is try his best to protect her. But with untold powers rising inside of her, Brielle might go to a place that no one can bring her back from. Not even Lincoln.
Brielle needs to learn to fight the darkness that threatens to take her over because, little by little, she's losing her light.
Brielle Atwater isn't sure of much, but she knows a few things:
Having black wings is not normal.
Selling her soul to the demons was a mistake.
Lincoln Grey is the biggest jerk she's ever met…but not falling in love with him might prove impossible.
When angels fell from the sky to war with the demons that ravaged Earth, their combined powers infected humanity. Now, the humans are assigned one of two fates, being either demon gifted or angel blessed.
After wings sprout from Brielle's back at her awakening ceremony, she's sure she's an angel blessed celestial. It's not until she sees black wings that she realizes something is terribly wrong.
Having sold her contract at a young age to save her father's life means she should be bound for Tainted Academy. That is, until a fallen angel unexpectedly fights for her to be accepted into Fallen Academy, the elite school for those that inhabit Angel City.
She's immediately matched with her impossibly handsome celestial teacher, Lincoln Grey. Laying eyes on him, her first thought is that her time at the academy might actually be fun, but this theory quickly fades when she and Lincoln clash on day one. To further prove her admission into Fallen Academy is cursed, the entire school is thrown into chaos when an Abrus demon reveals that he knows Brielle's secret. Now, above all else, Lincoln must fight to protect her.

La presión no me afecta, pero ¿compartir paredes tan delgadas con Zeke Collins? Para eso sí que no estaba preparada.Y cuanto más nos vemos obligados a estar juntos, más difícil es distinguir esa delgada línea entre odiarlo… y desearlo.
