The Tales of Tartarus Series

Do you believe?

"There are twice the amount of souls as there are people in every room," Mother always said. "There are those you can see. Like you and me. But there are those you can't see, and are still there. Some of them watch over us."

The immortals have suffered a near total annihilation throughout the world; from Miami to Paris, Cairo and Sri Lanka; throughout time and history; from ancient Biblical times, towards the Renaissance, the Dark Ages, and Modern-Day cosmopolitan cities.

The immortals were dying.

A gifted girl loses her parents in close succession and fights with God in between visits from the Devil. As a woman, she leaves home and discovers Vaudeville in Paris, and "la passion de la vanite". During that time, the myth of angels, in particular, a War Angel, among the populace was substantial, leading to questions: Who is the War Angel? And could the War Angel save the immortals from extinction?

A.L. Mengel crafts a patchwork of lush, provocative storytelling; voluptuous prose; elegant, exquisite description; set against the backdrop of glorifying the grandiose battle of good versus evil.
