When Deviya fell, she fell hard; not only into the Stygian abyss of Hell, but into the arms of her archenemy.
An angel.
When the pillars of Heaven begin to crumble, and the wings of the fallen are singed with shame, who will be there to lift Deviya up from the pits of Hell?
"Obsidian blood rained down on the damned. Deviya could taste it. The metallic curry of her sister's sinew and muscle bled into her mouth and drenched her and the boy in a copper haze. Deviya ran. She ran, and ran, and ran. She didn't know where, but she would run. She ducked behind bushes, and scurried along stone, paved pathways. Anywhere to avoid the lethal, vaporous demon that trailed behind them. The abhorrent monster hurled rocks and upheaved pathways in its wake. It was no longer Simaina. It was something different. Something more. Something that sent marble statues and pulpy fruits flying in agony."
Join Deviya in this spine-chilling, rip-roaring retelling of the Book of Revelation's most chilling story: The War of Heaven. With Deviya determined to protect a child of the damned, she strides to find solace not only for herself, but her child. With an angel on one shoulder and the devil on another, it's no surprise that she will fall, but when she does...who will catch her?
