She is sworn to a silent heaven. He is the angel who fell from it.They will tell you I was cast out. They will tell you I am damned, a creature of the dark meant to suffer for my pride. How utterly predictable of mortal men to confuse a magnificent exit with a punishment.
I am Raziel. I left the flawless, blinding perfection of Heaven for a very simple reason: I was bored. Eternity without sorrow is a song with no rhythm, a canvas with no shadows. And for millennia, I wandered your fragile, dying world, collecting the beautiful tragedies of mortals like precious stones.
Then, I found her.
Sister Cecilia. A masterpiece locked in the freezing, hypocritical halls of a Roman convent, starved of light and taught to hate her own magnificent flesh. The Church thought they could bury her. But I am a creature older than their gilded crosses, and I do not tolerate the squandering of beauty.
Make no mistake...I did not come to save her soul. I came to claim it.
I will strip away her vows, I will defy the Borgia Pope, and I will show this wretched world what happens when an immortal truly falls in love.
