Rescuing A Fallen - Part 1

Kelly Hollingshead

Summary

Lucifer has finally accomplished capturing a guardian angel, a task that had eluded him for over two thousand years. He will incorporate the seven deadly sins, one at a time to break Jonathan. He is hoping to gain back what the false God stole from him after sentencing him to an eternity as an outcast.

Legionaries, once Lucifer’s lackey, has learned from his alter ego Legion, about free will and how to twist the thoughts of humans to attain what he desires most. To test this theory Legionaries has chosen the town of Broken Falls; not only because of the town’s small size, but also the secret tucked away at the base of the mountains.

Riley and Maggie are determined to rescue the guardian angel Jonathan from the clutches of the Devil, but face their own challenges along the way. The biggest being an escaped Hell hound. Only time will tell whether the hound is a friend or foe.

Will Riley and Maggie make it to Jonathan, before Lucifer breaks him? How much turmoil will Legionaries release on the small town of Broken Falls? All will be revealed in the third installment of The Riley Series.

Top 10 Short Stories The -...

Washington Irving, Guy de...

Short stories have always been a sort of instant access into an author’s brain, their soul and heart. A few pages can lift our lives into locations, people and experiences with a sweep of landscape, narration, feelings and emotions that is difficult to achieve elsewhere.

In this series we try to offer up tried and trusted ‘Top Tens’ across many different themes and authors. But any anthology will immediately throw up the questions – Why that story? Why that author?

The theme itself will form the boundaries for our stories which range from well-known classics, newly told, to stories that modern times have overlooked but perfectly exemplify the theme. Throughout the volume our authors whether of instant recognition or new to you are all leviathans of literature.

Some you may disagree with but they will get you thinking; about our choices and about those you would have made. If this volume takes you on a path to discover more of these miniature masterpieces then we have all gained something.

In this volume our safe and known world becomes intertwined with that of dark and often malevolent forces from the other side to produce stories that shape themselves into narratives that will betray us in a sentence.
