Book Description:
Since he was sentenced to earth eons ago, Lucifer has always lived by three simple rules: Humans are toys that are meant to be played with, love is a useless emotion, and the only creature worth fighting for is himself. To him, nothing matters but his own enjoyment, whether it be manipulating those around him, or indulging in the sins of the flesh with Lilith.
Then he found young, sweet, and innocent, Maria, who is everything that Lucifer detests. She has devoted her life to her one true love, God. Unable to resist a challenge, Lucifer sets his sights on tempting Maria away from his enemy. Disguising himself as Lucas Starr, he creates a world that not even Maria can resist. He never planned on having the tables turned on him.
Imagine Lucifer’s surprise when Maria brings him to his knees and shows him a glimpse of heaven once more. Blinded by his arrogance and an unlikely vision, Lucifer falls again, this time forgetting that some lines should never be crossed. When his greatest opponent, Michael, shows up, all Hell breaks loose.
Will Maria be able to accept Lucifer for who he truly is, or realize what Michael already knows: some destinies can never be changed?
The
Inspiration behind Taming Darkness
It is my
understanding that you, the reader, are curious as to how Kat Daemon came up
with the idea for her novel, Taming
Darkness. Isn’t that
cute? You naturally accredited her with that much talent. The girl is pretty
decent at being a scribe, but you must understand, that is all she is.
Here, allow
me to enlighten you as to what really happened.
I found Kat
last winter, all alone in her living room clad in sweats and a hoodie. It was
her birthday, and she was staring at her laptop waiting for some
acknowledgement of her day to appear via a digital message. Pathetic, I know,
and being the generous demon that I am, I took pity on her. You see, Kat had
written about me before, she’s a bit infatuated, and who can blame her? The
problem with her past writings is that she always failed to make me the main
attraction, and I do not like to play second fiddle to anyone. It was time to
remedy this.
So, after
clouding her vision with what she comically refers to as “muse dust,” I laid
the contract down before her: A novel that finally tells my side of the story.
Sure, you are all familiar with the tale: Revolution in Heaven, temptation in
the Garden of Eden, and the creation of Hell. But, all you know is what they
have poisoned your brain with. Lies, I can assure you, and nasty ones at
that. It was time to clarify what had
occurred.
With the
seed planted, the tale began to unfold, and I guided Kat, making sure that she
got every detail just right. I even insisted that she include my naughty,
serpent sidekick, Lilith, in the tale, because I have learned: When Lilith is
happy, then I am happy... in more ways than one.
Our next
stop was a train ride where I took her into Manhattan and showed her all the
spots that she needed to write into the story. Her eyes were ablaze with
excitement as she took pictures and made notes for later reference. And yes, if you are wondering, my own home
was included on the tour. I even invited
her into my bedroom, a private spot that few have seen and survived to talk
about, mostly because a night with me is worth losing one’s soul over. She was hesitant at first, but I convinced
her that if she was going to write an accurate novel, thorough research was in
order.
Finally, I allowed
Kat to become privy to my deepest, darkest secrets and showed her what happened
when I encountered the one creature that showed me a glimpse of Heaven once
more. Once I knew I had obtained Kat’s sympathy, I trusted her with my tale
implicitly.
True, my
intentions were for my own self interest, but I think we can all agree that in
the long run, it worked out for everyone. I was finally able to get my story
told, Kat got her book deal, and you, dear reader, get a rare glimpse into the
magnificence that is me.
