links
After college student Shannon O’Connor stumbles into Hell and meets Samael, the alcoholic angel of death, she finds herself embroiled in a celestial war that will reshape the very structure of the cosmos, not to mention seriously ruin her GPA.
A freshman, Shannon is intent on succeeding in school and fangilring over the late, great David Bowie. Samael, however, has other plans – he sees Shannon as his trump card in his campaign against the heavens. With a bit of romance on the side, can this bad boy who's white as a sheet of paper and feisty Irish redhead stand each other, or will it all come crumbling down!
God has waged an ancient war against Samael and the pagan gods, causing a mass exodus of immortals into Hell – an exodus that Shannon, an ascendant, can reverse.
Able to open portals to other worlds, ascendants – specifically Shannon – can restore the balance between worlds. And Samael's pinning all of Hell's future on her eighteen year old shoulders, alone.
With a little help from the Italian werewolf mafia, Samael and Shannon set out on a madcap adventure to heal links between Earth and the pagan realms, all the while keeping angels off their backs and making time for Samael’s (horrible) jazz band.
Shannon grows into her power until the Irin – fallen angels that corrupted humanity – escape Heaven’s clutches. Alliances shift, and Shannon finds herself fighting alongside the very oppressors she sought to overthrow. Her soul’s true origin is revealed – Eve, Hell’s prophesized savior – and Samael finds himself falling hard for his ‘maggot.’
With the fate of her family, friends, and all Earth and the otherworlds on the line, and Samael's very heart in her chest - can Shannon pull off the ultimate victory? Or will she, like Eve... give into the Serpent's temptation?
After all, Newton's apple only fell once.
Straight into Eve's lap, as it were...
