Devil's Crossroads
Kuhusu kitabu pepe hiki
So here I am, trouncing an angel as usual at our weekly chess game, when I get the news: God is dead.
As the big guy’s worst enemy, I should be celebrating, right? Only I had nothing to do with this. My days of rebellion are long over. These days, I’m more interested in living a simple life on Earth—and whoever did this just ruined that for me.
Now every demon in Hell is on my case. Lord Lucifer, this is our chance—we need to strike at Heaven while they’re weak. Lord Lucifer, the humans are defenseless—we can burn their world to ash. As if I have time to lead a war when I have a date with myself this weekend to try out a new cookie recipe. And sure, burning the humans’ cities might be fun, but then what would happen to all the nice restaurants?
Worst of all, the one friend I’ve got has no time for me anymore. He’s back to his big-shot angelic duties in Heaven—duties that probably include preparing for war against Hell. So much for our weekly chess games.
Not that I care. The devil doesn’t have friends.

Cruelty, selfishness, greed… this world is full of darkness. But light still exists, caged but undimmed, an unquenchable spark at the core of the human heart. And that spark is worth fighting for.
Some people are still willing to fight. Bloodied and broken, they rise undaunted from every defeat to fight for justice and compassion in a world that has none. But before they can drive back the world’s darkness, they’ll need to confront the darkness in their own souls.
These are the heroes at the heart of Z.J. Cannon’s work, which blends page-turning suspense with high-stakes drama to create stories about flawed and often deeply damaged people fighting against overwhelming odds to do what’s right.
