VENGENCE IS THE LORD’S, OR SO HE SAYS.
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN WE STEP ACROSS THAT
LINE ISN’T SOMETHING ANY OF US WANTS TO FACE.

Little transgressions like putting a convicted serial killer to death is acceptable to forgive. But what happens when mankind decides it can impose its laws on a fallen angel, a demi-god in its own right, crafted by the Almighty and once exalted? Should it matter that this arrogant deity defied God and was banished to Earth to walk among man? Or that the subsequent crimes of its existence were directed at humanity? Dare we even consider the right to impose sanctions on such a being when God has claimed that right.

Stephen Shendly has since mysteriously stepped away from his previous life as a Homicide detective to join the Church in its fight against other dark angels. His team of detectives and the State prosecutor managed to convict one such fallen angel for multiple murders after a complicated case involving political manipulation of the country’s Senate. Now Stephen tracks other angels through his prophetic jaunts into prospective futures as they relate to the angels’ mischief. Unfortunately, these aren’t without their hazards. These trips he’s taking put him in the midst of ongoing natural disasters. Amid trying to survive these, he has to dodge the efforts of a previous nemesis now trying to kill him.
