"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

Nobody was quite sure what words they were expecting to come out of Bentley's mouth. Perhaps a plea for mercy? A bargain for peace? These were the typical words of those who stood in defense when facing a large threat. However, none of them were expecting Bentley's honest and genuine look of concern, nor the low and serious tone of her voice. It was as though she was ACTUALLY warning them of something instead of just playing around. It actually startled a few of the angels in the crowd. 


"You see," Bentley continued. "Hell's known about your invasion plan for a while now. And they've been preparing this entire time. I'm saying this now because if you try to follow through with what you're doing, you will end up getting yourselves killed," 


Although there were a few pairs of frightened eyes amidst the crowd, most of the angels on the cliffside were still deciding whether or not to take the bait. In the end, they weren't given a chance before Camael swooped in.
