"Bentley Hellbourne is dead,"

Those words were echoed in the pages of history, celebrating the infamous demon's death at the hands of her angelic arch-nemesis. After eighty-five years of peace between Heaven and Hell, the world is finally getting used to its current state of balance. But when Bentley inexplicably comes crawling back from her grave to wreak havoc once again, the structure of the four realms instantly comes crashing down.

After reuniting with his formerly deceased rival, low-ranking angel Atticus pash de Ophaniel finds himself caught up in a wild tangle of adventures. From babysitting Lucifer himself, to discovering horrible truths about his own existence, Atticus is forced to acknowledge the trauma of his past. And in doing so, unearths memories of a long-lost friendship held between himself and the person he always thought he hated the most.

God's Gone AWOL

Once everything was quiet again, Atticus was able to properly bandage Bentley up without any distractions. However bizarre the scene may have been to anybody else, both of them were actually familiar with it. It definitely wasn't the first time Bentley had gotten herself hurt over the years, nor was it the first time Atticus had been the one to clean her up afterwards. Granted, in the past, a lot of those injuries were caused by him in the first place, but he preferred not to acknowledge that bit of history. 


This time she had been stabbed by an angelic blade. The last time that happened, she had died almost instantly. Now Atticus wasn't sure how long it would take to heal, since nobody had ever survived a blow like this before. No matter what, so long as the clean, white bandage held the blood inside Bentley's body, Atticus wouldn't have to worry too much.
