After the creation of the Earth and the birth of Man, the Presence seemingly vanished from existence. Once the angels and demons discovered that mortals possessed souls, they became locked in an endless conflict for ownership over mankind. But Gabriel, once the leader of Heaven's forces, felt humanity should be allowed to live in peace. For his transgression, he was stripped of his wings and expelled from Heaven. Now, centuries later, the wars of man have brought the world to ruin. Man's once-vaunted technology has regressed. Lance Kells, a drifting writer with no direction in his life, inadvertantly stumbles upon this war and finds himself trapped in the middle of it. As Lance tries to uncover the truth, he will encounter a host of intriguing characters, from a hard-drinking, pink-haired avatar of death to an elderly Native American mystic. During his journey, Lance will discover a method of ending a conflict as old as time, as well as a disturbing secret which links him to Gabriel.
Excerpt
Samael instantly spun on his heel and I saw his fright-filled eyes at their most fearful. But although he was looking in my direction, I wasn’t who he was focused on. I slowly tilted my own head as far back as it could go. Standing in the doorway was tall man, somewhat lanky. Wearing a long, brown duster complete with a wide-rimmed hat that concealed most of his pale face in shadows.
“Gabriel…” muttered Samael. “The fuck do you think you’re doing? I thought you had a deal with our side.”
“Key word there is had,” said Gabriel. “As in past tense.”
