I try to live in harmony with nature.

Unless more than Harmony had betrayed Gabriel.

I'll let Harmony know.

So they weren't there on Gabriel's behalf but on Harmony's.

"Hey," Harmony said, stepping through the portal.

"Stop it," Harmony said.

Deidre felt Harmony's light touch as the death dealer brushed her hair aside.

"Get rid of her," Harmony ordered.

One of Harmony's men.

"Harmony was with them," Deidre added.

Harmony was granted access to use Hell to go to your underworld.

Harmony. When you find her.

"By letting them attack you, Harmony made a personal affront to the Dark One," Gabriel explained.

Harmony for the dealer you have.

She hesitated, though, not wanting to walk into another trap of Harmony's death dealers.

She didn't recognize the two men before her, but they were dressed much like the two death dealers that tried to turn her over to Harmony in her old apartment.

"Harmony," Deidre said at the sight of the female death dealer.

Deidre squeezed her arm in reassurance, not at all certain what Harmony wanted.

Harmony bent over her, saying something Deidre wasn't able to hear.

I didn't betray Gabriel to be stuck in the human world, Harmony said.

"Kill her," Harmony said, motioning to one of the other dealers.

Harmony stared at her then at the teen girl.

"Perfect. Even better," Harmony said.

Deidre looked from Harmony to Selyn, wishing she knew how to diffuse the situation in a way that Selyn was able to escape.

Harmony was quiet for a moment.

"Darkyn made a deal with Gabriel for your soul, Harmony," she said.

Harmony tossed her head towards the death dealer holding Selyn.

If you try to alert anyone or escape, I'll peel your skin from your bodies and watch you scream, Harmony warned.

She gave a sidelong glance to Harmony as the death dealer joined them.

The highest ranking of his death dealers to defect, Harmony had been Gabriel's lover for months and his second-in-command since he took over the underworld.

Harmony and a few others.

Right over there is where I sucked Harmony near-dry.

"Harmony," Darkyn's mate said in a hushed tone.

Harmony was tall and willowy with red hair and green eyes.

"That's for recruiting me without telling me it'd cost my soul," Harmony said, crouching beside her.

Darkyn made a deal with Gabriel for your soul, Harmony.

Deidre knew that look, the one that said that Harmony was staring down an eternity of demon mercy.

Harmony tossed her head towards the death dealer holding Darkyn's daughter.

Just like every other soul collector Gabriel sent out the past week, Harmony had gone on a mission and returned empty-handed.

"You didn't fail me, Harmony," Gabriel said.

Harmony's frown was fierce.

"If you feel the need to expel me for almost breaking the Code, I will go where you bid," Harmony said in a quieter voice.

The determination in Harmony's voice left him no doubt she'd do it.

His last lover – the only other he'd ever taken – had been the opposite of Harmony.

At least, he thought he didn't when he invited Harmony to his bed.

Harmony bent and lifted the dead man in a fireman's carry.

Harmony disappeared through the gray portal while Gabe took one of the yellow portals.

Gabe glanced up at Harmony's voice.

Harmony was looking at him.

He glanced at Harmony, whose green gaze was on the ocean.

"I tried several times," Harmony said.

He experienced none of the awkwardness he did with Harmony.

Harmony met him in the woods, coming from the direction of the palace.

"C'mere, Harmony," Gabe said, using his magic to project the quiet order across the lake.

Harmony appeared beside him.

Harmony didn't get the joke.

"Gabriel," Harmony's voice was hesitant.

"You're doing good, Harmony," he said, sensing her concern.

If he slipped and broke that rule, he didn't have to break it off with Harmony.

"If the death-dealers give you any issues, talk to Harmony," Gabriel advised.

Harmony asked at last.

"Take a break, Harmony," he told her.

Harmony hesitated, and Darkyn met her gaze, sensing weakness.

Harmony gripped his arm, fear crossing her face.

"Harmony, pull in all the death-dealers to the lake in an hour," Gabe whispered the order.

"We're all here," Harmony's voice carried a note of uneasiness.

Harmony, I have a mate.

Harmony was quiet for a long moment.

Gabe checked all of those in the mortal realm, except for … He turned, realizing Harmony hadn't been in the lineup.

Harmony, he called over their internal channel.

He'd just told Harmony he had a mate.

Second to Harmony on Gabriel's list of the most effective, Landon was her back-up when it came to organizing the missions and personnel.

"Send Tymkyn to find Harmony," Gabriel said, referring to the top tracker among his death-dealers.

He'd never thought twice about trusting Harmony or any other death-dealer.

Her name is Harmony.

"I still can't find Harmony," Landon said.

Dean and his wife firmly stated, in close harmony, it was none of any of their business.

But this idea involves the further conception of Leibnitz, that of a pre-established harmony, by which the Creator has taken care to arrange the life of each monad, so that it agrees with that of all others.

The atomic theory has been of priceless value to chemists, but it has more than once happened in the history of science that a hypothesis, after having been useful in the discovery Present and the co-ordination of knowledge, has been aban- position doned and replaced by one more in harmony with later of the discoveries.

Vico has been generally described as a solitary soul, out of harmony with the spirit of his time and often directly opposed to it.

Robertson, another political enemy of Conkling's, to the desirable post of Collector of the Port of New York, and thereby destroyed all prospects of party harmony.

Positive law, at least in progressive societies, is constantly tending to fall behind public opinion, and the expedients adopted for bringing it into harmony therewith are three, viz, legal fictions, equity and statutory legislation.

On this point the entire council acted in harmony.

Whilst Protestant opponents put him in the list of atheists like Vanini, and the Catholics held him as dangerous as Luther or Calvin, there were zealous adherents who ventured to prove the theory of vortices in harmony with the book of Genesis.

A similar influence was exerted by him in other branches of the common law; and although, after his retirement, a reaction took place, and he was regarded for a while as one who had corrupted the ancient principles of English law, these prejudices passed rapidly away, and the value of his work in bringing the older law into harmony with the needs of modern society has long been fully recognized.

Leibnitz, in accord with the distinctive principle of his philosophy, affirmed the absolute independence of mind and body as distinct monads, the parallelism of their functions in life being due to the pre-established harmony.

Josiah Royce in his lecture on The Conception of Immortality (1900) combines this argument of the soul's union with God with the argument of the incompleteness of man's life here: " Just because God is One, all our lives have various and unique places in the harmony of the divine life.

He regarded the world as formed by inferior spirits who are out of harmony with the supreme unity, knowledge of which is the true Gnosis.

There is some reason to hope that the day of these misconceptions is passed; although there is also some reason to fear that on other grounds the present era may be known to posterity as an era of instrumentation comparable, in its gorgeous chaos of experiment and its lack of consistent ideas of harmony and form, only to the monodic period at the beginning of the 17th century, in which no one had ears for anything but experiments in harmonic colour.

In the 16th century instrumentation was, in its normal modern sense, non-existent; but in a special sense it was at an unsurpassable stage of perfection, namely, in the treatment of pure vocal harmony.

Practically every law of harmony in 16th-century music may be equally well regarded as a law of vocal effect.

Two parts must not move in consecutive octaves or fifths, because by so doing they unaccountably reinforce each other by an amount by which they impoverish the rest of the harmony.

Thus we justify, on grounds of instrumentation, laws usually known as laws of harmony and counterpoint.

Apart from such considerations, 16th-century vocal harmony shows in the hands of its greatest masters an inexhaustible variety of refinements of vocal colour.
