Ascension Series by Hayden West

I’m one of the Powers. My duty is to be on guard for demonic attacks and protect the byways between Heaven and Hell. I’ve never had any reason to doubt my work, to question my purpose, until him…. Tristan Mori is his name, and he’s a chef. From the moment I lay eyes on him, I know he is to be mine. Who am I to claim such a thing? I am…. Demuri.

I’m one of the Angels. My duty is to be a messenger and to watch over the mortals. I protect them. Secretly, I’ve wanted to be one of the warriors, but I tell no one my wish. I have a place in the hierarchy, and I won’t challenge it. At least not until I meet the lifeguard Dorn, who is also tasked with protecting humans. I want to be intertwined with his future, but evil is approaching, and I’m not in a position to solely protect him. I have duties. Doesn’t stop my desire for him. I am…. Sagar.

I’m one of the Seraphim. I exist in the uppermost part of the hierarchy. I am to dispel and destroy the shadows of darkness. One day my perfect world is tossed into chaos and I meet Felix. He intrigues me unlike anything or anyone before him. Our lives and intersecting and instead of this upsetting me, this pleases me. I want to be around him and see what comes from this. I am…. Rao.

I’m one of the Virtues. My job is to preside over weather events and movement of the celestial bodies. Despite my limited interaction with humans, I am drawn by this one who I witness kill a demon. From that moment on, our lives are entangled. There is more going on down here, and among my kind, than I had believed. All I know is I want him at my side through it all. I am…. Omri.
