Wormwood’s Fall
Book I of The infernal apocrypha
WORMWOOD’S FALL is an upcoming, independently published Biblical & Gothic horror novella directly following the events of [HOLIEST]
Coming late 2026
A follow-up novella to Seraphina’s apocalyptic debut Holiest, Wormwood’s Fall is a story about two tragic fallen angels: Lucifer, the ill-fated prince who is trying to navigate the aftermath of his recent psychosis, and Abdiel, the treacherous cherub who was the catalyst for the events of Holiest. Told with an alternating POV, these fallen angels have to precariously balance their divisive past with their present-day circumstances, made more difficult by Lucifer’s unstable mind, his possessive husband, and the fact that Heaven is not finished with either of them. Can the most damnable sinners rekindle what was once a loving friendship, or will the nature of Hell keep them holding each other in contempt?
