A follow-up novella to Seraphina’s apocalyptic debut HOLIEST, Wormwood’s Fall is a story about two tragic angels: Lucifer, the ill-fated fallen prince who is navigating the aftermath of his recent psychosis, and Abdiel, the treacherous cherub who is Heaven’s most recent exile. Now damned in Hell together, these two former friends must 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 them.
