Season of Angels Book 3
by
Christopher Stanfield
Genre:
YA Supernatural Thriller, Mystery
Fate.
Fear. Family.
Lilith’s
daring gamble worked. Hell is broken. But in the aftermath, Lilith
must face a disconcerting truth. She may never return to the life she
left behind. While the pain of that parting never truly healed, she
knows that the end of her dark road is near at hand. It is a road
paved in sacrifice and loss. In memory and love. And she knows now
where it leads.
But
the end isn’t the only fate that Lilith must confront. A peculiar
stranger beckons, bringing knowledge of a family secret that will
unravel the mysteries of Lilith’s past. And what she discovers will
shake her fragile world yet again.
Lucifer,
enraged at the loss of the realm he twisted, is more dangerous than
ever. He now prepares one last bitter scheme that will herald his
most brutal act of all. For Lilith, one thing remains… the last,
terrible storm is here. And though Madeline and the Angels are by her
side, Lilith must stand alone before the Devil or all she loves will
fall at last.
“I’m on the same road I was a year ago, just a little nearer to the end now.”
“Lucifer?” He shuddered as the name drifted in a whisper beyond his lips.
He shut his eyes and said nothing at first, and when it seemed like he might deign to speak, he turned and wrapped her in his strong, thick arms. Nothing else was said as they embraced, he was simply content to let his arms envelop her protectively.
If she let herself go, she might have cried. She had certainly shed her fair share of tears in the last few days, but she managed to keep them back even as he held her tight. There was a flurry of thoughts that scattered out of the shadows, but it was difficult to grasp any long enough to recognize what it was. At times, she could have sworn she saw the apparition of Tatiana’s face, her round cheeks framed by curly wisps of blonde hair. But the emotion that caught fire in her heart wasn’t the sadness of what was lost. It was love. A love unspoken, yes, but it was the one emotion she knew that mattered more than all the rest. More present even than the fear she often felt as her familiar road grew dark. In his warm embrace she held to the memory of her dearest friend, the one she loved, despite the absence of the courage needed to express how much.
“Whatever happens, you stay safe out there.”
Lilith pulled back enough to meet his gaze. “I will.”
“You end him. For all of us. But I don’t want to see you beyond that damn Veil, not just yet. Do you hear me?”

terrible than nightmares--- continue to haunt her.

believes this stranger may be the key to shattering Lucifer’s hold

himself.

Christopher
Stanfield is a West Texas native whose love of writing began at the
age of fourteen, when inspired by a love of mythology, science
fiction and fantasy, he began writing stories by hand whenever the
time could be spared. After high school and a brief flirtation with
college, he would spend the next eighteen years cultivating a career
in Information Security at a small community bank located in his own
hometown. But even then, his love of writing endured, and while
dreams of characters and stories continued to occupy his imagination,
he found an outlet for that creative muse by creating advertising
copy for his employer. Through challenges and distractions, hard
choices and the rudimentary demands of life, the dream of telling
stories never waned. It was and ever remains more than merely a
career. With that in mind, he enrolled in the BA Creative Writing
program at Southern New Hampshire University, with an eye towards
honing his craft and expanding upon his knowledge of the industry so
that he might one achieve his dream of becoming published.
