Chains of Blood Trilogy

Welcome to the Chains of Blood Trilogy. This trilogy starts with Confined by Heaven, continues into Released by Hell, and ends with Transcended by Earth.

This trilogy follows a young man named Bellamy Delacroix as he learns the truth of his heritage and is swept up into a world of intrigue, lies, and shocking truths. He enters a world of extra-planar creatures who have styled themselves after the human concepts of angels and demons. Much like these concepts, these two groups oppose each other.

This is a world where black and white is not clear and defined even though the angels and demons believe it to be so. Bellamy learns the hard way that there are varying degrees of trust and loyalty.

The day started as any other day would. Bellamy Delacroix was just out with his brother shopping, and then he headed home to the inevitable discussion about his future with his mother. Then, his world explodes literally, and he's swept up into a world beyond his imagining. A war between extraplanar creatures who call themselves angels and demons, draws him in because of what he is. And what he is, no one has ever seen before--a Nephilim.

An angel named Saniel takes him under her wing, and helps him adjust as he is taken to the city of heaven, Elysium. He learns about what he is, about who they are, and their enemies in Zion, the demons. A warning from an ally of his mother, though, rings in his head, and he wonders who he should really be trusting. Things begin to spiral in ways he doesn't understand, and the world is changing before his very eyes.

Driven insane by the very people he trusted, Bellamy is caught between worlds in a way like never before. He’s in the hands of Addariel, the angel both at fault for his fall from grace and the current King of Hell. His mind is only clear when he is inside his own head, and his world is spinning out of control. A terrible experiment that went wrong has left him on the verge of death, and it is up to the Codex of Hell and Addariel to save him.

Then, the strangest things happen among the demons. They devote themselves to his salvation, claiming him as their mate and, more than that, dedicating the hearts they didn’t know they had to him. In his madness, he captures their very souls and changes the nature of the beasts around him. Even Addariel, once only interested in power, shifts his focus to taking care of the mentally fragile Bellamy. For the first time in Zion’s history, the King of Hell cares more for something other than power and conquest.

Elysium, though, is not letting go of him easily. In a misguided attempt to help him, they make a move that could destroy the fragile peace between Zion and Elysium.

Rescuing Bellamy has become a priority for both Elysium and Zion. Adding to the mix are the Arcadians, who will stand to fight for Bellamy. Held by the angel Usiel in a location no one knows, Bellamy fights for his survival and the survival of his unborn child. Usiel wants to breed an army of angels capable of fighting demons without fearing their use of negative energy, and by doing that, he needs to rid Bellamy of the demon’s child within him.

A human woman senses something off with a strange neighbor and investigates the situation. What she finds shocks her, and she knows what she must do. Taking Bellamy, unstable as he is, she flees, unsure what to do with what she thinks is a young girl pregnant with her a child her captor wishes to kill.

Meanwhile, in Arcadia, angels from Elysium and demons from Zion work together with a pirate radio station to try and find the missing Nephilim. The world is unsure, but they know they must find him before Usiel captures him again.
