Hope's Light (Part Three)
Book Six of Heaven's Light
By Erisian
The Sefer Raziel, also known as the Book of Secrets, remains elusive and dangerous - especially if discovered by the wrong hands. Having chased after this legendary tome back to the banished realms Below, Jordan plunges further into Murder and Mystery, as Hell is ever filled with both.
Yet her true quest searches for far more, with a heart demanding action to save those she before had accidentally left behind, and to bring the Light of hope to those whom Fate has abandoned entire. Hell’s politics, naturally, threaten complications beyond anything imagined - even in the intricate tabletop games once played by a former database developer who had responsibilities for only house and cat.
But having journeyed through the flames of Revelations and Heaven’s history, she is that simple engineer no longer.
And the full Promise within her Name shall not be denied.

The Light Between (Part 8)
Book Five of Heaven's Light
By Erisian
Earth. Deep blue skies filled with clouds and sun.
Returned from the desolation and horrors of Hell, Jordan finds herself again surrounded by friends, kitty, and a peaceful campus with idle moments seemingly to spare.
Yet relaxation and inner peace remain elusive, as unanswered questions flit across thought and dream. After all that she has endured a quiet life as a simple school student feels like a mighty jest - one with a waiting and deadly punchline.
For time, even for angels resurrected in the light, does not so easily stand still.

Darklight 1: A Darklight Burning Brightly (Part 8)
Written by Solus NovaI was nervous. I'll admit that. Maybe even a little bit frightened. This was my first time breaking the law, well breaking the law with intent. If everything went right and according to plan I'd be a criminal, of the international variety. It sounds impressive doesn’t it?
“... and that's the story.” I babbled looking at three women in front of me, the fourth person was still behind me holding a knife to my throat. However I was now inside the villa and not much had changed in the main room since I was last here, the entertainment centre was newer and larger, oh and someone had put down some canvas that I was standing on. Which explained why I had told my story so fast and in such a high pitched voice that likely all the dogs nearby had run for the hills.
