AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'A dark action/ drama that takes place in the realm of Purgatory. It reveals the struggle between Arc and Fallen angels for control over the city and its population of reborn souls. At present, darkness rules and Gabriel, the last of seven Arcs sent to bring back light, must assume a human form. In the darkest places of the human soul, this lone Arc angel's battle with his human feelings will prove as perilous as facing the Fallen.'
