Author: Christopher Stanfield
Title: Elegy
Series: A
Season of Angels Book #3
Genre:
YA Supernatural Thriller, Mystery
Fate.
Fear. Family.
Lilith’s
daring gamble worked. Hell is broken. But in the aftermath, Lilith
must face a disconcerting truth. She may never return to the life she
left behind. While the pain of that parting never truly healed, she
knows that the end of her dark road is near at hand. It is a road
paved in sacrifice and loss. In memory and love. And she knows now
where it leads.
But
the end isn’t the only fate that Lilith must confront. A peculiar
stranger beckons, bringing knowledge of a family secret that will
unravel the mysteries of Lilith’s past. And what she discovers will
shake her fragile world yet again.
Lucifer,
enraged at the loss of the realm he twisted, is more dangerous than
ever. He now prepares one last bitter scheme that will herald his
most brutal act of all. For Lilith, one thing remains… the last,
terrible storm is here. And though Madeline and the Angels are by her
side, Lilith must stand alone before the Devil or all she loves will
fall at last.
The
War for Souls has just begun, but time is already running out…
In
the wake of one tragic, fateful night, Genevieve leaves behind every
aspect of her simple life, including her name. Now she’s known as
Lilith, and with the memories of her erased from those she loved,
it’s as if she never existed. As she seeks her new purpose, dreams
of a sad, broken woman with raven hair--- a woman in a place more
terrible than nightmares--- continue to haunt her.
Madeline
is a fractured soul trapped in Hell after taking her own life. Lilith
believes this stranger may be the key to shattering Lucifer’s hold
over that frightful realm. But to find Madeline she’ll need a soul
who knows the fetid hellscape. A Demon has been sent. But he must
first brave the dark of Hell and survive the madness in
himself.
While
Lilith sets her daring game in motion, Lucifer plots a scheme that
will determine the fate of all souls, both living and in death.
Lilith must get to Madeline, fast. For if she fails, there will be no
end to the darkness Lucifer will bring.
A
name is a fragile thing. You never really think about it until it truly
matters, and for Samael, it seemed to matter now in a way it never did
before. His name was taken from him, forgotten in the endless torments
of this forsaken place. All that remained was the name given to him by
the Angel who raised him from the pit. He never hated that name as much
as now. I have to find it again. Not the name Lucifer gave me. The name
my mother chose. My name.
Me.
“Remember who you were,” he
said to himself as he wandered along a shadowed field that stretched as
far as his eyes could see. “Her name was Amani, and she loved you.”
Her
deep brown skin, her stark green eyes. The raven color of her hair, and
the way it tumbled down her shoulders. Those were the things that came
back to him, the remnants of memories dragged out of a forgotten past.
Amani was her name, and she knew what his had been. If only he could
hear her voice once more; it might stir that one forgotten piece out of
the shadows that kept it hidden.
But Hell tore away what was
light and good within a human soul, leaving only the pall of shadows and
the whispers of madness that never left. As a demon, Samael had done
everything he could to rid himself of fear. This place was rife with it,
of course, and always near as well.
Now, he was here again,
wandering the blasted fields of a place he hoped he would never see
again. The fog was just as he remembered it, rotten and heavy in the
air, hugging the ground and stirring in the stillness.

Christopher
Stanfield is a West Texas native whose love of writing began at the
age of fourteen, when inspired by a love of mythology, science
fiction and fantasy, he began writing stories by hand whenever the
time could be spared. After high school and a brief flirtation with
college, he would spend the next eighteen years cultivating a career
in Information Security at a small community bank located in his own
hometown. But even then, his love of writing endured, and while
dreams of characters and stories continued to occupy his imagination,
he found an outlet for that creative muse by creating advertising
copy for his employer. Through challenges and distractions, hard
choices and the rudimentary demands of life, the dream of telling
stories never waned. It was and ever remains more than merely a
career. With that in mind, he enrolled in the BA Creative Writing
program at Southern New Hampshire University, with an eye towards
honing his craft and expanding upon his knowledge of the industry so
that he might one achieve his dream of becoming published.
