"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

"So Xander's going to Hell, you're going to Purgatory," Hazel said, "Frances and Atticus are staying here... What about me?" 


With a simple shrug, Bentley merely glanced over in her direction. "What do you WANT to do?" 


The question was quite simple, but it made Hazel frown. This whole time, she had been dragged around like a ragdoll. First, Atticus and Bentley had kidnapped her from Jericho and whisked her off to France simply because she was distantly descended from an angel. Then her ability to manipulate deceased souls was discovered, so Smythe hypocritically dragged her down to Hell. Then once Smythe was arrested and Xander decided to go on his illegal jailbreaking spree, she was pulled back up to Earth. Never once had she been allowed to make her own decision, and what little decisions she had made would have been made for her one way or the other. So now that Bentley was actually asking what she wanted, Hazel was a little stumped.
