Callista & Roxanne go to Underworld to save Joan's soul & bring her to her heavens. Being torn between her past love & current love, Joan's trauma, & Roxanne's jealousy, this is an adventure not to miss. Lots of angst & heartbreak among action & suspense.

I had several requests for more side character questions! So, let’s talk about the first side character your MC meets on page.
Are they friend or foe? A stranger? Do they stick around or are they fleeting?

I suppose the first side character Tynan meets is... Lucognidus 😂 He's the God of the Pentagonal Dominion, and Tynan's grandfather. He's kinda a big deal. He doesn't interfere in mortal affairs when possible, so he tends to stay quiet in Tynan's head. But he WILL interfere if

Amnos, the Messianic Lord of the Nequinum world, has 7 different animal forms, one of them is a great tawny lion (the others are a dove, bull, eagle, donkey, fish, & lamb). Not exclusively a Christ figure (he has a bit Mithras, Persephone, etc).

#QueerPrompts 3. MCs goals and resolutions
Initially, Calla's goal is to become a professional stuntwoman like her mom. After dying, her goals shift to pure survival when she is resurrected and weird stuff starts to happen. She tries to regain control over her life (and not die again in the process)

The first character that Michael interacts with on page is his favorite student, Beatrix “Trixie” Petrov.
She is not technically a foe, but she’s the cause of some trouble for Michael.
