Trailer inside :D In Heaven, no angel is perfect. At one point in their existence every angel makes a mistake and every angel is given just one second chance. How? Community Service. They must protect an endangered human from harm for their whole life – from birth to death - and are therefore given the rank of Guardian Angel. Most angels are grateful to be given a second chance. That is most Angels except Levi. This is Levi’s 4th chance and God’s forgiving nature is wearing thin. Enter Riley. She thought her life was normal (don’t they all?) until she starts hearing voices in her head and unseen forces pulling her away from danger. Levi is watching over her. But Riley is different. Riley isn’t Levi’s usual human. She’s entirely different. The choices she makes now will affect her soul – will it go to heaven or will it be chained in hell? But Levi is tainted. His faith is weakening and his angelic powers are deteriorating. Hell senses this and it won’t be long before they force him to join them by any means necessary; no matter whose lives are destroyed in the process…

“Do you know Lilith’s story?” he asked me, leaning over the counter, his strange silver eyes gleaming in the orange afternoon glow that filled the empty library, filtering through the huge bay windows. “No,” I said, and even though the air was far from cold, a chill crept down my spine. Something about his eyes, his posture, and the way he looked at me made me very uncomfortable. “She was the first woman created by God. She was made of soil, just like Adam… She was his equal. Not like Eve…” he stopped then, eyes lost somewhere beyond me. “She disrespected Adam and God and finally ended up being cast out of Eden, cursed and forgotten by all. Do you know what her curse was?” “No,” I breathed. My instinct was telling me that something was very, very wrong.

Every time they died, they would come back as another person, and they would carry the weight of Lilith’s sin for all of eternity…" She was the one thing he needed most. He was the one thing she should have ran away from. There is only one way for a son of Lilith to stop the unending cycle of life. A soul for a soul. A life for a life.
