"The wings don't make the angel."
Heaven and Hell are at each other's throats, with a war threatening to start doomsday. Someone behind the scenes is manipulating everything, an ancient force, a whisperer.
A fallen angel, stripped of his wings and turned mercenary, James Plume is enlisted by Heaven's Archangels to find and eliminate this new threat, before its too late. Accompanied by distrustful angel, Gracie, he must traverse through Heaven, Hell and the many cities of the world to find the truth.
They must trust no-one, for this is a conspiracy thousands of years into the making.

"...and a little bird told me our king has been spending too much time in Purgatory, meeting with certain archangels." I was sure I didn't hear him correctly. "Lucifer and the archangels? Purgatory? I'll entertain your insanity, carry on." I tried not to laugh, crossing my arms over my chest. "He's there... you can't locate him even if you try, but I know. And there are too many angels there, living angels." Callum said. "They're hiding something, Ian. Deep enough in Purgatory that it's impossible to find." *** Megan had no idea she was the one being hidden... the one that could change everything. Caught between angels and demons, some more alluring than others, she's forced into a new reality that shatters the world she thought she knew. Who is she?

Trust Me
"I told you to leave me alone. Are you stalking me?" I asked the little shits. "Of course not! Rude much?" Noah gasped, his hand over his heart. "I am truly wounded by your words." I rolled my eyes at his dramatic performance. "Well I am wounded by your presence! What the hell are you doing here?!" Lucas stepped towards me, hurt and confusion evident on his face. "We were just wondering how you were. Noah said you were in a lot of pain, and you looked so tired during class. We wanted to know if you were okay!" "Speak for yourself," Jackson snorted. "I actually don't care. At all." Jasmine has been bullied, abused, and hated since middle school. She's come to believe that people are cruel and untrustworthy. It's best to let them do what they want and pick yourself up when they leave you on the ground. When the trio of new boys arrive, Jasmine walks past without a glance. Her untrusting demeanor is something nobody has been able to break through. But the boys love a challenge. Meet Jackson, the bad boy, Lucas, the sweet one, and Noah, the clown. This cliché group might just make Jasmine's walls come crashing down.Complete
seVen: Vice and Virtue
Before the separation of vice and virtue--before demons became the natural enemies of angels--there was only happiness, purity, and Heaven. But all of that changed when the Archangel Lucifer decided he would do a far better job at being God than Trinity, Heaven's leader. And when his plans are thwarted, Lucifer and his followers become the first demons...and with that, the first sins. Now, these demons run wild among a fresh playground of human minds, and it's up to the Archangels who were once their best friends to stop this menace before it corrupts the entirety of mankind. Led by the Archangel Michael, Conscience aims to keep humanity safe while systematically taking down every demon that dares to fight them. And yet, Michael finds himself wondering if eliminating these demons for good is really the only way to save mankind. Weren't they once friends? And if they were, wouldn't it be better to save them? One way or another, he's going to find out. And at the end of the day, everyone will have to choose: Vice, or Virtue? *(Contains violence, language, and some sexual themes.) *(Deals with somewhat mature themes, as well, including touches of racism, domestic abuse, and mental illness. General trigger warning.)Complete
