It has been seventeen years since Michael DeSanto was last in Los Angeles, California. Against his will, his agency has requested him to return for an assignment that suits his abilities. In return, he received gifts that were promised to him, a new home and a fancy boarding school for his niece, but nothing great comes without a price.

Jacob Curzo Crawley believes he is a less than interesting construction worker living in the heartland. He thought he was destined for greater things after he saved the life of a classmate in high school, but the opportunities did not present themselves as he had hoped. On a typical ride to work one morning he is confronted by a stranger who appears out of thin air next to him in his little red pickup truck, nearly costing them their lives. Much to Jacob's disbelief the man claims to be his guardian angel, Maddox. But Jacob is not the only human to learn that they have been followed for their entire lives by a guardian. Rather, the entire world now faces the fact that there is a God, a Devil and servants of both struggling to control the Earth. Jacob, his friend Pete, a former flame Quinn and a cocky tag-along named Luke are accompanied by their angels and enjoy a time of peace and enlightenment that is interrupted 7 days after ""A-Day"" by forces that are eager to take over the world once and for all.
Jacob Curzo Crawley returns in PART II of the COMPENDIUM TWENTY-THREE series in Shadow of Death. After spending a week with his newly discovered guardian angel Maddox, Jacob continues to explore his recent revelation and attempts to warn the group of what is coming. However, the information is not for every ear to hear and some are unwilling to accept the warning that Jacob has for them. The tension this creates among the angels and humans threatens to pull them apart, and it is up to Jacob to keep the group from splintering and falling prey to the servants of the underworld. Unbeknownst to Jacob or any of his company, he is not the only soul who possesses the information that offers them an advantage in the days to come. Shadow of Death sees a flurry of activity as the mortal world and the angels assigned to protect them prepare for battle with Lucifer and his demons. The hours continue to countdown and only time will tell who will be prepared and who will be defeated.

Moving through the complexities of dating, Stella and her friends quickly realised that the online world was simply a revolving door of people coming and going. It had become a collection of hopeful souls and artificial feelings, all competing for attention. Conversing with many, yet rarely sealing the deal; because in the blink of an eye it was all yesterday’s news, and there were fresh, new people to talk to instead. Craving love, and being burnt by the fire, losing hope, losing themselves, and getting lost within the deep, dark caverns of this online world of desire. The fickle nature of being just a number and waiting your turn; of broken promises and stretching the truth. The short-lived swipe-right, swipe-left world around them was no easy game to play. The virtual world was certainly not a place to become emotionally invested in. As Stella takes a reminiscent walk down memory lane, the stories of her and her friends are discovered, each with their own complicated tales of love, hope, heartbreak, and regret. Was there really such a thing as finding the one? Or was that all just a fantasy?
