Book Description

After centuries of imprisonment in Heaven after committing the sin of falling in love with a human, Ariel is given a chance to redeem herself in the eyes of the archangels. So many years after her last descent, Ariel is tasked to return to the mortal land and prepare the humans for the coming of God. But when her first mission goes horribly wrong, Ariel finds herself at the edge of a mystery that brings into question the true motives of her orders, and she must decide where her faith truly lies.

The city of Chicago was the chosen residence of the eccentric demon, Caelum. His taste of entertainment sets him apart from the rest of his kind, driving him to walk amongst mortal men. But when he is presented with an opportunity to have a hand in Hell's grand plan, it was an offer he couldn't refuse. Walking through shadows and nightmares he crosses paths with an angel from Heaven, and memories of his forgotten humanity begin to resurface.

For Ariel, encountering Caelum was an unexpected surprise and challenge, and although he is clearly a sworn enemy and at odds with her mission, she finds something inexplicably familiar about the demon in her way.

Caelum, a cynical, sarcastic, and mischievous demon at best, finds himself inexorably drawn to Ariel. Their chance encounter sparks memories of his humanity he once thought long gone. He has orders to stop Ariel at all costs but then again he's never been one to follow rules and orders anyway.

Both Heaven and Hell have plans for the End of Days with the angel, Ariel, and the demon, Caelum, at the center. When faith is tested and alliances are blurred, two natural enemies become unlikely allies in a war that will determine the damnation or salvation of all humanity.
