Mortals call him the Angel of Death. Fitting, because escorting souls is all Cole has ever known. Until her. When his mortal soulmate dies, and he refuses to take her soul, Fate retaliates—cursing him to endure Evie’s death over and over. Centuries later, he’ll do anything to end the torment. If only his soulmate could survive it. Evie has lived hundreds of half-lives, all of which end the same—killed by an angel at twenty-five. Each reincarnation, her so-called soulmate thinks he spares her from Hell, instead he plunges her soul into a hellish loop she’s helpless to escape. Well, no more. In this life, when Death comes for her, she’ll be ready with a weapon of her own. When a deadly enemy lures them in, Cole and Evie must risk everything to end their curse. Even if it means defying Fate one final time.

Havoc is a barbarian living on the planet Charm, where technology has been lost but Magic has been found. He has the strongest gift for it, and is forced to become king of the unstable new planet.

In Conte's view, looking at recent poetry in terms of the complementary methods of seriality and proceduralism offers a rewarding alternative to the familiar analytic dichotomy of "open" and "closed" forms.
