Eron's home, Ma'ro, has been destroyed by demons that he unknowingly summoned into the Material World; Xanenax, the Left Hand of Lucifer, finds Eron while investigating the aftermath, and takes the boy as an apprentice. They will need one another to survive the days to come, for the Xanenax's authority has been compromised in what may be the final move of the Lord Regent Kira'thaz before the usurper enacts his coup of Hæll. An angel discovers Eron's fate and promises to slay him for the good of what is left of humanity and Creation after the Rending. Hunted by Hæven and dragged down to Hæll, Eron must keep his humanity and sanity within a dark world that threatens to break him, mind, body, and soul. P.S. Cut out a lot of fluff and tightened up the plot. I know I have said this before, but I am at least 90% sure this will be the final(ish) draft. On to book two! *Copyrighted through LoC*
