About this ebook

...for who would love Death?

Azrael Thanatos wants nothing more than to follow in the footsteps of his scientist mother. Sent to study humans on a wager between the Eternal Emperor and Shay'tan, he has no idea that Earth is gateway to a fiery prison. Far from home, he is befriended by Elissar, a precocious child with silver eyes. When Moloch instigates the invasion of Carthage to escape, Azrael sacrifices his life to snatch his friend from the Devourer of Children's maw.

Saved by a mysterious goddess, Azrael is given a new mission. Watchman. Roaming the Earth without shape or form, he reaps those who would help Moloch escape and drags them to Gehenna, a prison to which only Lucifer holds the key. It's a hellish immortality, for who wants to serve alongside the Fallen or exist when no living creature can survive your touch. Haunted by Elissar's death, he despairs of never finding love or friendship as time grinds civilizations into dust. For who would love Death?

Then one day a child takes his hand and lives...

Life for Elisabeth is not easy. The Angel of Death took her entire family the night a drunk driver plowed through a stop sign and left her in a wheel chair. Azrael is forbidden to interfere as she bounces through foster homes, hardship and grueling rehabilitation. Then one day he is forced to reveal he is not a figment of her imagination.

Oh, how she hates this angel who has taken everyone she has ever loved! The invasion of Iraq inspires her to join the Army as a trauma nurse, unaware that Death has fallen in love with the woman who can defeat him.

Will she take his hand a second time?

"This book provides a sympathetic portrayal of the angel of death and Lucifer. It does for the Bible what Wicked does for The Wizard of Oz..." —reader review
.
"Probably the best mix of science fiction, history and romance I have ever read. This book will make you think about what you know and believe..." —reader review
.
"A love story so epic the passage of time cannot dim it. Or keep them apart! True soulmates transcending lifetimes of pain. Ingenious!!" —reader review
.
"I didn't want to stop reading it. Descriptions I had read of it did it no favors and cannot convey how captivating the story is. I hate crying, but when an author can make me cry and love it, how can I not be a fan?" —reader review

Author

Anna Erishkigal

Anna Erishkigal is an attorney who writes fantasy fiction under a pen-name so her colleagues don't question whether her legal pleadings are fantasy fiction as well. Much of law, it turns out, -is- fantasy fiction. Lawyers just prefer to call it 'zealously representing your client.'.Seeing the dark underbelly of life makes for some interesting fictional characters. The kind you either want to incarcerate, or run home and write about. In fiction, you can fudge facts without worrying too much about the truth. In legal pleadings, if your client lies to you, you look stupid in front of the judge..At least in fiction, if a character becomes troublesome, you can always kill them off.

    I was given this book in exchange for an honest review.I enjoyed this world if fantasy and was swept up into by the end of the first chapter. I never read anything by this author before but am looking forward to reading more now. This book did have a few parts that some religious people may take offense at but it is all part of the stage of this book. All in all it was a masterfully written fantasy tale.

    Not my type of book, but this was well written and somewhat captivating, i did find it easy to put aside as i wasn't so much captivated by the characters but wanted to follow the story to the end.

    A love story about two souls fated to be together this story is a fantasy based on Earthly history and Heavenly myth. Earth is a hell mouth that must be guarded by Heaven against incursions of the evil Moloch. Middle East conflicts through the millennia are background for the battles fought between Moloch's and Heaven's agents.Azrael is a young scientist sent to earth to observe. He became attached to the young girl he was observing and died trying to save her. After his death he became the Angel of Death who job was to help souls to let go of their earthly bodies. He cannot touch anyone without killing them, until he meets Elisabeth. He watches over her through the years and despite the scars from the night they met which left her lame, orphaned, and lonely, she goes on to become a military nurse. While the battles rage, Azrael and Elisabeth romance blossoms.The secondary characters like Lucifer and the other agents of Heaven are also very interesting and add to the story in a positive way.
