"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

It took Bentley more than an eternity to say a single word. 


Once the memory was completed, Atticus withdrew his gentle hold on her face. The circle where their foreheads has been connected now felt cold in the absence of her touch. His hands were trembling slightly, both as a reaction to the spell, and simply out of nervousness for what would follow next. Bentley was silent for just a little too long, after all. 


He had shown her all of his memories from his own perspective, and he hadn't bothered to censor anything. Not only had she just witnessed the reality of her own death through Atticus' eyes, she had also been filled with every single one of his emotions as they had occurred back then. Of course she couldn't say a single word, Atticus had just traumatized her.
