David

Not much time had passed since the end of the apocalypse. Baal, Malek's father, was dead, Shepfa had fallen at the hands of the apocalypse horsewoman Pestilence, and the apocalypse horseman War was also dead at the hands of Vicky Walker. Shepfamalum was free, and the body of the Mother of Life had been defeated. But for Audrey, none of this mattered. Her house, where her fleeting but vibrant life had begun, had burned down and burned with an equally bright flame. Somnus, her former boss, had poisoned Audrey, causing her death, but he himself regretted it. David, Mikael, Cassiel, and Raphael had become servants of Shepfamalum only because the scion of Baal had promised to resurrect Audrey. And he had kept his promise. Now a clot of darkness lives within the girl, a particle of the dark god, granting her immortal flesh and the ability to regenerate. Now the Astraeans have a new home, a new life and new goals, but true love can flare up even in ashes.
