Angels of Pestilence — Karinn Martel

How can a game have a winner when the rules constantly change?Belial's three sons are on earth, and one is creating his own kingdom; a kingdom he feels he is owed. As Belial's son Nicomedes ages, and his powers grow, it's the rest of mankind who has to worry when the tortured souls are allowed to escape from hell, looking for bodies to host to do his dark bidding. When Nicomedes infects angels with the darkness of hell, they become his pets, guarding his home that he shares with his brother Florian.Once infected, angels do not protect their own, angel will kill angel, like the war in heaven has always been.Even Belial is not safe from the clutches of his offspring who show him no favour. Belial tries to make things right by snatching his son and taking him to hell, sealing him in, but even there, Nicomedes manages to destroy what he can as his hatred grows.The angel Aira, who has become the new Famine, has had enough and wants to remain on earth when the game is over, claiming that God has shut His doors to her. She begins her own game, and she is not the only one. Death, War, and her friends decide to play alongside her to win on their terms. Only Amox has a choice now. To remain the angel that he was sent to be or the new Pestilence and remain with his friends. His choice could change the game.Sometimes in a game, there can be no winner.
