"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

As soon as the secret rally looked like it was drawing to a close, Atticus darted away from the doorway. Even though the revolution itself was widespread knowledge, the identities of the individuals involved were all kept underground —minus Lucifer, of course. How would all the revolutionaries react if they knew someone was spying on them? He didn't plan on sticking around to find out, instead finding a suitable side-hall to hide in until it was safe to start an argument with Ruth. 


Once Ruth reemerged from that little closet door, Atticus immediately started following her again. The smile she wore while in the presence of Lucifer had all but dissolved the moment she stepped outside. As soon as she knew that there was nobody watching her, her whole expression turned darker than Atticus ever thought possible, and her unnaturally heavy movements resumed. Distressed and intrigued, he continued closely at her heels as she dodged through the halls of Heaven alone.
