The Family Morningstar: Book 2 - E-book - ePub

Lucifer left Heaven. He wasn't thrown from the gates as The Father's sympathizers want you to believe. They tell us The Host turned its back on the rebel prince, but again it's not true. A full third of The Eternal city followed the First born when he left. In a final stroke of defiance, The Dark Lord gifted his Fallen with the one prize The Father had denied his children, the ability to procreate.
After the war The Father vanished, leaving Creation to find its own way. Treaties between The Host and Hell were made as the flow of souls into eternity continued to grow. The Fallen began to raise families. Their children, called Hellspawns, were born and became some of the most fearsome creatures to walk the nine creations. But no Hellspawn stood above Lucifer's most prized possession, his feared and hated great-grandson Xia Morningstar.
As great as Lucifer's love for Xia was, so in equal measure was his mother's hatred of her son. What most did not understand is that Xia really only wanted two things, to know who his father was and where they had taken the twin sister he'd never met. As the rift between his mother, the great Mesopotamian deity Lamashtu, and son grew, she devised a plan to do what had never been done before, expel the troublesome spawn from Hell.
The Fallen could travel the Creations but no Hellspawn had ever left The Dark Lord's realm until now. Here begins the story of Xia Morningstar and his human minion Sam as they search for the secrets both Hell and The Host have spent an eternity trying to hide. Alexander Collas' series, Journal of a Deadman and The Family Morningstar, have received both adulation and infamy for taking on the subjects of God, Lucifer and Eternity from a different point of view.
His writings examines this age old superstitions through the lenses of their most acclaimed and hated characters. These books are graphic, controversial and examine topics often skirted by other authors.
