The War in Heaven is an epic poem inspired by John Milton's, Paradise Lost and the prologue to the vampire series, Martyrs. This highly stylized novella is separated into two books. Book I is the origin story of the greatest villain the world has never known. Satan is the unsung hero, who loses the love of his creator for questioning his place in heaven. His faithless pursuits soon inspire one third of the angels in heaven to join Satan's rebellion. Book II introduces Lilith, the first woman created by God and the bride to Adam, in the Garden of Eden. When Lilith wakes in hell, she shares her story with the demonic flock. She tells of her defiance to obey Adam and even the messengers sent from heaven. Her persistence to exercise her free will, gets her banished from the garden and replaced by Eve. The story of Lilith and her curse is enough to win the love of all the ranks of hell.The War in Heaven dares you to remove the blinding light of faith, so you are free to question authority and can learn to love thy enemy.
