"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

Several thousand kilometres away, Atticus plunged his head into a cool, rushing stream. As it washed the soil from his hands and face, the overwhelming chill of the fresh water also cleansed him of all feelings and thoughts for a moment. And for the first time in several long days, he started feeling slightly more alive. 


Unless of course his breakdown had just left him feeling emotionally numb, because that was also a possibility. 


No matter what was happening to him, whether he was returning back to a semi-functional state or being or dissolving even further, he could at least sense the world around him. He could now hear the whistle of the moonlit wind and the soft bubbling water. He could feel the cool night air, and smell the trees and moss. Even if his heart was still trapped in a world he had left behind, life was still going forward without a moment's rest.
