He left heaven to save her. But can she save him now? The Bible story you never heard in Sunday School, 'The Descent of the Gods' is based on real legends and stories from different ancient cultures.
Synopsis - After watching evil spread unchecked throughout the world before the flood, angels descend in human form to intervene. But as their mortal forms are tempted by the very sins they came to eradicate, a boy and a girl from enemy tribes risk everything to ensure the angels do not fall from grace as mankind did in Eden. But not everything is as it seems, and mankind and angels will be forced to make choices that will have eternal consequences.
This Biblical action epic launches a trilogy about the first age of our world, and will be followed by 'Children of Wrath' & 'Sons of God'.

At the Fields of Fire and Blood
The world is dying. Heaven and Hell have broken and collapsed, creating a post-apocalyptic landscape that is part purgatory, part platonic world of ideas, blighted by the horrors of the human mind. The sun lies dormant in the east, atop God's tower, while the west is plunged into darkness and haunted by all that lives there. There is no day and night cycle, nothing grows, nothing dies, nothing changes, unless magic is involved. Angels hunt creatures for their blood, to feed it to God so he can finish gestating. Demons kill and destroy aimlessly, their origins inexplicable and unknown. Stranger beings wander the ruins of what's left of the world. Humans need not eat or sleep, caught in a state between life and death. They cannot die or be born naturally, but they can be killed and they can be made. The few that survived with their sanity somewhat intact have locked themselves into warded cities, but their protections are feeble and often ineffective. The Order that united them is long gone, broken into factions known only by the sins for which they have fallen. The Houses that protected them are crumbling, falling into ruin as their members were culled down by angels and demons, as well as their own mad quest to save the world; the Pilgrimage, a vain attempt to steal into Eden and murder God himself. Soon, only the Scions will remain. Those that were left not due to merit, but because they were the last choice for being heroes. Those whose memories and minds are as damaged and eaten through as their world. Those who agreed to take on the mysterious Archons within their bodies and, through that contract, had ancient relics and rituals passed down to them. They converge onto a long forgotten neutral ground, trying to save themselves. A heroic journey through a nightmarish wonderland. A pilgrimage to God's tower, to make the world whole again. To cleanse the world of the horrors infecting it. To kill the God who will doom them all with his birth.Complete
The Song of Vallis
"All that is made must be unmade, And all that rises shall be felled." Before the rise of mankind, before memory itself, there was Ahm-the body of all that is-and The One, its spirit. From their eternal dance was born the world of Vê, a living realm of mountains, oceans, flame, and storm. Upon this world rose the dragons-the Nezulim-ancient beings of mind and fire, who ruled for ten thousand ages before envy and pride brought their fall. When the heavens split and the Bolide descended, it carried a new race: men, refugees from a dying world called Meä. Guided by prophets and enslaved by reptilian lords, humanity built its kingdoms upon the bones of dragons and the ashes of paradise. From this bondage rises Mosul, the Son of Antoc, a king who dares to defy the gods. His rebellion will ignite the last great war of Vallis-a war of dragons, men, and immortal prophets whose destinies are bound to the cycles of creation and ruin. Told as a translation of the lost scripture of the Neandilim, The Song of Vallis is a mythic epic that spans worlds and ages-a fusion of cosmic theology, heroic tragedy, and apocalyptic prophecy. Fans of The Silmarillion, Paradise Lost, and Dune will find themselves immersed in a vast mythology of fallen gods, eternal recurrence, and the unending pursuit of divine knowledge.Complete
