Books in the Nic Ward series

Nic Ward wasn't always Hell's most infamous fallen angel. This is how his story began... In Higher Justice, a guardian angel by the name of Nicariel makes a deal with a demon to bring a killer to justice. In The Dizzy Fall, an Inquisitor is called in to investigate the murder of an angel. And in Devil's Crossroads, Lucifer's quiet life in the suburbs is upended by impossible news: God is dead... These three short stories take place before the start of the Nic Ward urban fantasy series. You can start here or with the first full-length novel, Nothing Sacred.

God is dead. I killed him. My name's Nic Ward. At least, that's what I'm going by these days. Once, Heaven and Hell alike knew me as Nicariel the Fallen. But it turns out killing the tyrant on the Divine Throne will earn you a bit of a reputation. So I'm hiding out in the human world, keeping to myself. I'd say I've more than earned a quiet retirement. But without anyone keeping order up above, the demons in Hell are restless. And Heaven has its own problems, with power-hungry angels scheming to claim the Throne for themselves. It's easy for defenseless humans to get caught in the crossfire. And no one is interested in looking out for the little guy. No one but me. Guess my retirement won't be so quiet after all... This omnibus edition contains the first three books of the Nic Ward noir urban fantasy series: Nothing Sacred, Broken Faith, and Crooked Idols.

Humanity finally has a hero who can stand up to Hell.It's my job to stop her.Guess that makes me the villain. Ever since Heaven lost the war, the forces of Hell have treated my city as their playground. One human is finally pushing back. With the power of a saint's relic behind her, she's bringing light to Jarvis's dark streets, one dead demon at a time. But not every demon is one of the bad guys. Some of us just want to live our lives in peace. And if I don't stand up for the ones who can't defend themselves… well, who else is going to care what happens to a bunch of monsters? I wish I'd never asked. Because now none other than Vekaniel is sitting in my office, offering to join forces to protect the good demons of the city.Yep, that's right: the scary-powerful fallen angel. My former ally in the war against Heaven. The one I went up against a few months back, and barely came out alive. She swears she's on the straight and narrow now. We'll see about that. But the fact is, I can't win this alone. I need help. The kind only a dangerous, devious, and maybe-reformed fallen angel can give.
