    The baby grew within the cursed shell. The angel’s egg.

     

    Ken and Temperance kept a close eye as it developed and hatched—healthy and alive it was.

     

    The District doesn’t know. Mud doesn’t know. No one knows the black blooded beast was born again.

    Summary

    “The beasts whose blood flows black, threatens our blessed world! Fear the prophecy! Fear the two humans born of the angel's eggs!”

    That was the prophecy that Mel had heard since she was a child. Two humans that held the power to destroy the Gaslight District and drive away the gift of never ending life… and she just happened to be one of them.

    Ken always told her to stay quiet, keep her head down, and kill anyone who got too curious. And she had. Over and over. But secrets were heavy, and Mel was sick of dragging theirs around. She wanted answers—about where she came from, and more importantly, about the other human the prophecy warned of.

    She didn’t have to look for long.

    Their latest heist of stealing an angel's egg from Heaven itself has set everything into motion. Now, the Virtue Corps have sent down an enforcer to put the Smiling Dead crime family in their place.

    Heaven has sent you.

    Summary

    Melancholy Hill didn't grow up wanting to attain a criminal record, intentional as her crimes were. But after serving time for a case of assault and battery, despite missing the manic euphoria her acts of carnage gave her, she's ready to start her life over.

    Until a mysterious mark in a graveyard sends her tumbling into a rotting hellish world known as The Gaslight District, where angelic spies refer to her as unholy. Taken in by Ken the Butcher and his gang, the Smiling Dead, Mel is forced to hide her identity and blend in among them. Which becomes harder and harder as the angelic forces watching them suspect a human has arrived.

    As Mel grows accustomed to a world where sin runs rampant, death means nothing, and consequences are felt throughout the eons, she takes to her new criminal life like a fish to water. Once she gets past the garbage and smell of rotting flesh, that is.

    But the Virtues aren't too intent on letting the harbinger of the apocalypse roam as free as she'd like.

    Summary

    But man, proud man,

    Dress'd in a little brief authority,

    Most ignorant of what he's most assur'd—

    His glassy essence—like an angry ape

    Plays such fantastic tricks before high heaven

    As makes the angels weep; who, with our spleens,

    Would all themselves laugh mortal.

    or

    Diligence, Temperence, and the only human child.
