false 5178537 1 Nothing interesting ever happened to fifteen-year-old orphans Eliot and Fiona while they’ve lived in the strict, oppressive household of their grandmother. A chance visit, however, reveals that there is much more to the twins. They are the offspring of a goddess and Lucifer, Prince of Darkness. Now, to settle the epic custody battle between these two families, the fallen angels create three diabolical temptations, and the gods fashion three heroic trials to test Eliot and Fiona. More than ever they need to stick together to survive and to learn how to use their budding supernatural abilities . . . for family allegiances are ever-shifting in the ancient, secret world they have entered. 5245622 3 2 2009 Mortal Coils total:80|5:19|4:37|3:19|2:3|1:2| 80 308 147 32 2 2 false false Tue Aug 11 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Fri Jul 17 10:14:14 -0700 2009 Tue Aug 11 05:08:37 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Sun Mar 22 06:27:28 -0700 2009 Sun Mar 22 07:00:02 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Fri Jan 09 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Thu Jan 08 16:33:36 -0800 2009 Fri Jan 09 06:27:59 -0800 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Mon Jun 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon Jun 22 14:49:02 -0700 2009 Mon Jun 22 14:50:34 -0700 2009
