Reforming Hell
Описание книги
In her waking life, Leianna is a 29-year-old single mother living in Philadelphia, but she is psychic, has had astonishing visions, and leads a dual, astral existence in which she is now reunited with Bael, her dark, mysterious lover from another life, 35,000 years ago. More than love is at stake, for Bael is nothing less than one of Lucifer's followers, a fallen angel. Behind the story of their love is the epic of the Fall from Grace, which takes a new turn as an alliance between Heaven and Hell seems a real possibility for the first time in untold millennia. Now Leianna, becoming Queen of Hell, will face an impossible task: if Hell itself is to be reformed, she must first redeem the soul of history's greatest monster – Adoph Hitler – and make him weep. Can she save the damned? Should she?
Отрывок из книги
I would like to thank my friends and family who have been so supportive and understanding as I worked on this novel, especially my husband, Darrell Schweitzer, whose loyalty, love, and editorial feedback are treasured, and my mentor, Ray Bradbury, whose encouragement has always kept me going whenever the going got tough.
