Arden Maurningster is a nephilim — a creature destined to either ascend into angelhood or descend and become a demon. When his world gets turned upside down, he clings to the possibility of becoming an angel and tries his best to follow the strict heavenly law. Never seek out worldly pleasures. This commandment is soon proven a difficult one to follow considering his growing feelings for a fellow nephilim, Archer Flint.
