In Fall of Angels, the 6th installment from the Saga of Recluce series, L. E. Modesitt, Jr., presented the engineer/smith Nylan, the just man among the management of the company of ‘angels’ marooned on a high plateau in the western of Candar, as well as perhaps the main one person most responsible for their survival. But the angels are a matriarchal music group, and so Nylan must leave his companions and seek a life somewhere else. He moves down through the plateau into the world of warring kingdoms and strange magics with his companion, Ayrlyn, the healer, and his infant son. These are in search of a place to business lead a peaceful life, but they appearance not the same as the locals, and their abilities are most appreciated in battle-and therefore the war between chaos and purchase begins again.
