Setting: Medieval England
The Saint
Cast to the mortal realm by an evil sorceress, Arina (a messenger angel of Death) had more than her share of problems. She was trapped as a human, tormented by human emotions and doomed.
The Sinner
The villagers said Daemon was the devil’s son, but he was only a man plagued by strange dreams– visions of a woman killing him in battle. When she appears in his life, he doesn’t know if she’s an angel sent to heal him or a demon ought to end his life.
One of King William's most trusted knights, Daemon was abandoned by his family over what they believe is the mark of the devil-- mismatched eyes. Through the strength of his will, he crawled out of the streets and rose to be the king's right hand.

View Character ProfileThe idea for Daemon's Angel came while Sherri was working on a term paper about the Conquest of England. Her paper was on her belief that Edward the Confessor promised his crown to both Harold Godwinson and William of Normandy, playing them against each other to keep peace during his reign. While she was working on the paper, she had an image of a blond woman drifting through the bodies at Senlac. It would be another year before she'd realize who that woman was and why she was there.
She started work on Daemon immediately.
In the original manuscript, Sherri had Daemon descend into Hell to fight Belial and his crew of demons. The ending was completely different. The book was intended for the fantasy market and her agent at that time misunderstood and sent it to her then publisher Dorcester instead. They bought it as a follow-up to Paradise City.

The book originally came out May 1995, the same month her oldest son was born. She signed the contract for it at the 1994 RWA national convention. It would be another four and a half years before she would sign another book contract. Ironically with the woman who had agented Daemon.
This book is set in one of Sherri's favorite time periods- The Conquest of Saxon England
