A love story about two souls fated to be together this story is a fantasy based on Earthly history and Heavenly myth.  Earth is a hell mouth that must be guarded by Heaven against incursions of the evil Moloch.  Middle East conflicts through the millennia are background for the battles fought between Moloch's and Heaven's agents.Azrael is a young scientist sent to earth to observe.  He became attached to the young girl he was observing and died trying to save her.  After his death he became the Angel of Death who job was to help souls to let go of their earthly bodies.  He cannot touch anyone without killing them, until he meets Elisabeth.  He watches over her through the years and despite the scars from the night they met which left her lame, orphaned, and lonely, she goes on to become a military nurse. While the battles rage, Azrael and Elisabeth romance blossoms.The secondary characters like Lucifer and the other agents of Heaven are also very interesting and add to the story in a positive way.
