Follow along as he is thrust against his will from his boring day to day office life into one of gods, magic and mystery. Stuck in a plot between Heaven and Hell, Desmond is forced to forge new relationships with demons and other unlikely mythological creatures while he struggles to understand the rules of this new world revealed to him. Will he survive Heaven’s angels that pursue his bloody end? *********** This is my first original work, please read and review if you like. Feedback is greatly appreciated! I still work a full time job, but do my best to update at least every M/F *********** Update 7/17/2022 This work is on a hiatus for a few months. My wife had twins recently, and I overestimated my available time to write. (So exhausted all the time!) so I will resume once my newly grown family gets into a new groove and the twins are old enough for me to get SOME amount of sleep again. (Hoping for early September!) Thank you to everyone supporting this novel and please note that I WILL be returning. That is a promise!

A need I had not known I harbored, a need I had not felt since...
