Ash & Flame: Episode Two

by Wilson Geiger

Ren and Emma have finally made it to Haven, one of the few remaining holdouts against the expanding dominion of Hell, but it may not be the safe haven they thought it was. Especially when the angel Ithuriel asks Ren to face a past he’s struggled to forget.

Emma has hidden her own fears well, forced to grow up in a world that no longer allows her to be a child. But overcome by frightening voices not her own, she discovers that maybe she hasn’t been quite afraid enough.

Ithuriel is one of the Malakhi, the angels charged with defending humanity from the predations of Hell. He hunts the Grigori, the Fallen angels that seek to remake Man, and the world, in their own image. But when a Grigori child is granted sanctuary in Haven, he is left with questions that he has no answers to. Can he find those answers before it is too late?

Stoic and vigilant, Kevin leads the human survivors of Haven. Together with the Blessed, men and women granted powerful relic weapons by the angels, he fights for those under his protection. But when that protection extends to the outsiders Ren and Emma, can he keep them safe when he’s not certain they deserve it?

Part 2

Geiger does it again. You're left feeling for a father that only wants the best for his daughter and to only remember the best of his wife.

Something's brewing in the Angel ranks and it has left me curious as to what will happen next. Can't wait for the next episode.

Full review to come after I read the entire series, but father and daughter are now in a compound protected by angel, but that's not necessarily a good thing...
