Synopsis  

Before humanity. Before the fall. There was Michael.

In a world stitched from code and myth, where angels are dreamers, artists, warriors, and rebels… the last hope for a broken Heaven is a painter with a sword—and a secret even he doesn't know.

Abandoned with no past, no name, and no purpose, Michael survives the only way he knows how— fighting. But when the god Lucifer recruits him as a gladiator for Universal Technologies—the mysterious project on Eastern Island—Michael’s forgotten past begins to resurface.

There, he meets Trudy— a defiant computer scientist and the only atheist in a paradise that runs on belief. She’s discovered a threat buried in the source code of Heaven itself… and all signs point to Michael being the key to stopping it—or destroying everything.

This isn’t the Fall you’ve heard about. It’s the one that rewrites everything. Heaven is about to get a reboot.
