About the story:

Joker=92s Rapture is about two militarily bio-engineered humans. One was =
created with 15=92 long steel wings and the other with a 15=92 long =
tail. Their creator, Dr. Gutierrez, rescued them and raised them as her =
sons. One of them became emotionally unstable while the other vowed to =
take him down. Unfortunately, he can=92t do it himself, so he recruits =
Jonathan to lend him a hand=85

=20

Synopsis:

Trust: Just a five-letter word, but one that carries more weight in this =
world than any could fathom. What happens when sabotage, deceit, and =
betrayal push trust to the breaking point? When Midael and Abaddon, two =
enhanced humans (Chimaeras: Midael with 15' long metal wings that shoots =
out like daggers, Abaddon/Job with 15' long metal tail and can =
manipulate energy), become part of a high-stakes and violent game of =
cat-and-mouse, each learns just how much trust can be lost when everyone =
they meet has an agenda.=20

=20

Soon, the two must adapt their own agendas as they are dragged further =
into a chaotic realm of hatred, illusion, and death. When the pieces =
finally fall into place, where will their allegiances lie? As trust =
becomes merely a myth, will they find themselves becoming part of the =
very organizations that sought to use them, or will they break free and =
seek out destinies of their own making?
