*Douglas Duke is a household name. A bestselling author known as "The Father of the Macabre" who has penned over 40 books, each bringing the reader into the world of the supernatural: Ghosts, Gunfighters, Vampires, Demons, Aliens, Plagues, and Other Dimensions. The only thing is, Douglas Duke has never written a word of fiction in his life.
Douglas Duke is a member of THE CODE, an ancient organization that seeks to uncover the true history of the world and awaken society to the truth. Duke uses his novels to spread the word of the truth to the public. THE CODE has thousands of agents scattered all across the world. Each is assigned to learn as much as they can about the truth of the world and communicate this truth to the public in a subtle way. Rumors, hearsay, books, films, urban legends. They may all be true.
There is a much deeper purpose to THE CODE, though. A secret well- kept throughout the Millennia. A close watch is kept on Douglas Duke as he has come closer to this secret than anyone else ever has, only he doesn't know it. For now.
While sitting in a country bar in Western Pennsylvania, Douglas meets Owen. A quiet man deep in depression, seemingly drinking himself into a stupor, except he never takes a sip. He tells Douglas his tale- a story of love, loss, and the quest for redemption. It's a story often told, a story we've all lived, and one that Douglas is very familiar with himself. Only, this is the first time Douglas has heard it from a Fallen Angel.
