My name is Landon Hamilton. I'm a ghost. I died five years ago, except I didn't get to rest in peace like most of the departed. Instead, I was tapped by Dante (yes, that Dante) in Purgatory to become his champion and save humankind from the rest of the Divine - you know, angels and demons and their mortal followers. It seemed like a great deal at the time. I would answer my calling as a diuscrucis (a perfect balance of angel, demon, and human) by getting sent back to the mortal world, inheriting the 'magic' to bend the universe to my will, and saving humanity from devastation. Hindsight... it sucks. Yeah, I saved the world; but the manipulations of the Divine have left me numb, and the constant fighting is getting old. To be honest, I'm tired of the whole damn thing. I don't eat, don't sleep, and barely feel. I've become obsessed with the vague warning from the Queen of demons, and the only thing keeping me hanging onto any shred of my humanity is the girl I've sworn to protect. Except... now she's gone. She was taken right out from under my nose, and I don't know by who or for what purpose. What I do know is that I'll do whatever it takes to get her back, and there isn't an angel, demon, or god that can stop me. It's a good thing I've still got my anger. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Betrayal is a contemporary urban fantasy set in New York City and Paris, France.
