When a fallen angel killed God, not all priests lost their faith. Some rolled up their sleeves and got to work. Like the ones behind Seed of Renewal—a charity on a mission to create a better world here on earth, since we can’t count on heaven anymore.
Whatever they’re doing, it’s working. Crime is down. Kindness is up. Even someone as cynical as me has to admit they may be on to something.
I guess someone out there doesn’t like that. Because priests from the charity keep turning up in the hospital, their minds wiped clean. These guys are great at handing out food and free hugs, but when it comes to fighting the kind of evil that’s gunning for them, they’re out of their depth. That’s where I come in.
I’d be the first to admit we’re hardly natural allies. There’s no place for people like me in the future they’re creating. The law and I have a complicated relationship on a good day, and I’m not exactly the turn-the-other-cheek type. Oh, and that fallen angel? The one who killed God? Yeah, that was me.
But if they want to stay alive to make the world a better place, I’m the only chance they’ve got.
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.
