They Who Fell

They say that long ago, there was a rebellion in Heaven - that an army of angels sought to seize the throne and were cast down into the pits of Hell in punishment. Those are the affairs of angels, and everything would have been fine if they'd kept them to themselves. But there's been another uprising, and another fall. Cast down to Earth, the rebel angels ravaged the globe in an orgy of sin and violence as they indulged in their newfound freedoms.

The tower is fallen, its residents scattered or dead. A mob of human refugees swarm the city, tossed into a world they haven't seen in years and one Jana knows only from distant memories as a child. The ones who tore down her home would have her flee to safety and abandon her need to find Rhamiel and know what became of him. But the strike against the angels has returned them to their martial ways, and an army is reforming under the banner of Uzziel with the goal of eliminating any threats to the Seraphim forever.

Jana, Rhamiel, and Thane are on the run, pursued by Suriel and an army of seraphs who've bent their knees in servitude. They thought he was the only threat they faced, and they thought they'd found a way to hide away until her pregnancy was over and the Son could return to the world again. But darker things have come to Earth than Suriel, and the Cherubim are working strange magics from their Hive. Things from Lucifer's Pit are finding their way out of their cage and into the world, and they come whispering about Lucifer himself.
