"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

"Relax, it's only been an hour," Said Frances. 


"How am I supposed to relax?" Atticus replied, "I should have gone with her and made sure that she was alright. Even if Bentley trusts Xander, I'm not sure that I do," 


There was no sign of Lucifer or Bentley anywhere. Atticus searched everywhere he could think of, but in the end he still came out empty handed. Eventually there was nothing left he could do except return to the Cupboard with Frances. But he just couldn't sit still in the wake of everything that had happened, so he ended up organizing a bookshelf just for the purpose of physically doing something. 


But organizing the bookshelf only took a couple of minutes. Once he was done with that, he conjured up a bottle of window cleaning solution and a rag. 


"What if Hazel is mistreated?" He said, wiping down one of the display cases, "What if they scare her? What if they tell her some important secret about the universe that she isn't ready to know yet?"
