"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

The two made their way down the mountain and into the village Atticus had just left behind. It was mid-day, so the mouthwatering scents of a dozen different types of food were now permeating the air, swirling together in a delicious aroma. All of the villagers were still out and about, mingling together as they were when Atticus left them. Strangely, the sensation of walking and talking so casually in such a busy space was perfectly fine. It was almost enjoyable when he was with Bentley. 


"The townspeople say there's a spirit haunting the mountain. Is it okay to assume that's your doing?" Atticus asked after some time. 


"People these days think EVERYTHING is a spirit of some sort," She replied, "It ain't my fault they avoid anything out of the ordinary," 


"You once said you wanted to live among humans. Why do you hide in the forest now?" 


"Because it turns out humans are a lot more boring than I anticipated," 


Atticus tilted his head. Reading his expression, Bentley elaborated.
