Julian waits at the private airstrip with a blacked-out jet that looks like it was built for gods, not mortals. He’s in a crisp suit, no coffee mug this time, just a single silver briefcase. Julian (nodding): “Shambhala’s gate opens in forty-seven hours. You ready to make them regret inviting you?” I step off the Suburban, board under my arm, crown pieces humming in my veins.

Waiting for Severino felt like a slow burn beneath my skin. I had spent an extra twenty minutes in Charity’s room, smoothing her hair and breathing in the scent of lavender and sleep. She was the only part of my life that felt clean, and bringing Seven here felt like inviting a wildfire into a paper house. When the buzzer finally rang, the sound ripped through the quiet apartment like a gunshot.

Thunderclaps overhead and slowly I black out. . . . I smell flowers, it smells like lavender and Jasmine and freshly cut lemons, it's refreshing. Is this what heaven smells like? Then I want to stay here forever. A hand gently presses the wounded area and I wince in pain. There are no pains in heaven, so this isn't heaven. Slowly I open my eyes and see a woman above me, dressing my wounds. My eyes are fully opened now and I'm staring at the woman who keeps concentrating on what she's doing.

Cynthia glanced sideways at him as the city rolled by: the way his hands rested steady on the wheel, his jaw set in quiet focus. There was something grounding about him, something she hadn’t noticed before.

If I saw you in heaven Would it be the same? If I saw you in heaven I must be strong And carry on 'Cause I know I don't belong Here in heaven Would you hold my hand? If I saw you in heaven Would you help me stand? If I saw you in heaven I'll find my way Through night and day 'Cause I know I just can't stay Here in heaven Time can bring you down Time can bend your knees Time can break your heart Have you begging please Begging please Beyond the door

An old woman’s wrinkles seemed to melt away. “They’re not just asleep. They’re trapped in some perfect dream—so perfect they never want to wake up.” Julian didn’t whisper. “This is a graveyard, Maya. A fancy, spotless graveyard for people who are still breathing.” “Welcome to the first ‘Heaven’ Clinic,” came a sharp voice.

Chapter 1: Welcome To Heaven After three long years, Gigi Geffrey was back in Illinois. For some people, that was definitely good news, amazing news. It meant that an angel was back on its birth place: heaven. For some others, the vast majority, that meant the devil was back in action.
