Be Not Afraid

Machinations of God #1

by Apollo Blake

It was once true that Ophanim were chained to God, pulling His chariot, chanting His Glory, never far from His presence. Things have changed since then.

Eden is a Nephilim; strong, resourceful, and destined to hunt down celestial beings. But being a half-angel isn’t all it’s cut out to be. Most angels are giant, monstrous, horrific beings who are barely restrained by the Glory of God, and when they break free and step out of line, developing the free will that was only meant for humans, that’s when Nephilim like Eden step in…and that’s when things get messy.

Be Not Afraid is a free online short story, action-packed urban fantasy perfect for fans of the monster hunter genre. Coming May 18th!

About the author

Kai Bishop was born and raised in New Brunswick, Canada, where he became fascinated with fantasy and sci-fi from a young age. He writes and publishes under the names Apollo Blake and Cosmo Knox. A massive lover of books, film, video game, and comics, he decided to become a writer when he was twelve years old, and never looked back. His favorite genres are urban fantasy and paranormal romance, he loves both outlining and discovery writing and switches between them from project to project, always listens to music when writing, and his favorite part of the writing process is drafting. He loves animals, sketching, gaming, cooking, and journaling, and spends most of his spare time reading, making music, and looking after his cats and dogs. He is sometimes sane, but mostly not, and almost always overthinking, which actually helps with the writing a lot.
