Six months after brokering an uneasy peace, Marcus Kane traces a string of murders to something worse: harvesting.
Someone is draining Nephilim alive to create Divinity, a drug that grants angelic powers for hours before burning out human souls permanently. The trail leads to the Temple of Ascension, run by Pastor Michael Throne -- Marcus's half-brother and son of a Watcher Angel, who plans to distribute Divinity to ten thousand followers and trigger mass evolution without consent.
Marcus's niece Lily, revealed as the daughter of Samael the Destroyer, calculates a 3.7% chance of stopping the catastrophe. As Raphael descends to eliminate manifested humans, Detective Chen watches her husband die from Divinity burnout, and Azazel -- hiding as jazz singer Victoria Cross -- is unmasked as the architect behind everything.
The Temple service proceeds. A thousand people die. Seven thousand are permanently transformed. Marcus Kane must decide whether the Bridge between Heaven and Hell is worth maintaining when being the Bridge means choosing which tragedies are acceptable.
For fans of The Dresden Files, Sandman Slim, and Constantine.
Genre: Urban Fantasy
