"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.

Even though the energy in the air was still dangerously high, Bentley had full control over it, and she could move it back and forth at will —as long as she kept up her act of careless authority. The rage and thirst for blood was like a gushing river, and Bentley had the power to snap her fingers and create a stalling dam of fire in the space of a couple seconds. It was incredible and Atticus hated it. 


"How dare you show your face here?" An angel shouted, "You know we were just talking about all the foul deeds you've committed!" 


"Which ones, specifically? There's really too many to name." Bentley tilted her head. 


"Does it matter?" The angel continued, "There's enough to warrant me killing you right here and now!"
