Review Summary
Used to spending the millenia teaching, Angelus' transfer to earth was not an easy one. Left disorientated and bewildered in Chicago he has to gather his thoughts amd focus on his mission. He knows he has to do 'good,' and he thinks he might have found just the person he is supposed to help.

Things are never as simple as they seem and Angelus has let himself in for a whole world of trouble when he blunders head first into the problems of a university student. A fantasy set in the modern day streets of Chicago, it takes a look at the human race from an outside perspective.

Louise Karczmarz, Resident Scholar
