Seit Brielles Mutter ihre Seele an die Dämonen verkauft hat, ist auch das Schicksal der 18-Jährigen besiegelt. Deshalb erwartet sie bei ihrer Erweckungszeremonie, die über ihr weiteres Leben entscheidet, keine großen Überraschungen. Es ist klar, dass sie an der dämonischen Tainted Academy ausgebildet wird. Als dann jedoch pechschwarze Flügel aus ihrem Rücken wachsen, wird sie wider Erwarten an der Fallen Academy der Engel aufgenommen. Mit ihren schwarzen Flügeln ist Brielle dort allerdings eine Außenseiterin.

Brielle ist aus der Hölle entkommen – und Luzifer kocht vor Wut. Er plant, seinen Ärger an den Bewohnern der Erde auszulassen. Währenddessen ist Chaos in Angel City ausgebrochen, und die Armee der Fallen Academy versucht alles, um die Stadt vor dem Untergang zu bewahren. Währenddessen trainiert Brielle für den Kampf ihres Lebens: Sie ist endlich bereit, die Prophezeiung zu erfüllen – und Luzifer ein für alle Mal zu vernichten.

An der Fallen Academy, wo Brielle Atwater eigentlich ihr drittes Schuljahr antreten sollte, glauben alle, sie sei tot. Doch Luzifer hat sie in die Unterwelt verschleppt und hält sie dort gefangen. Er braucht Brielle, um seine Rachepläne in die Tat umzusetzen und die Erzengel zu töten. Sie allerdings denkt gar nicht daran, sich zu unterwerfen. Mit Hilfe einer Verbündeten gelingt ihr nach Monaten die Flucht aus der Hölle. Aber der Kampf geht weiter, denn Lincoln ist verschwunden. Wird sie den Teufel besiegen und ihre große Liebe retten können?

Brielle Atwater ist sich bei drei Dingen absolut sicher: 1. Schwarze Flügel zu haben ist NICHT normal. 2. Ihre Seele an die Dämonen zu verkaufen war ein riesengroßer Fehler. 3. Lincoln Grey ist der größte Idiot, den sie je getroffen hat ... aber sich nicht in ihn zu verlieben ist quasi unmöglich.

Mondphasen, Sternbilder oder Planetentreffen – das Himmelsjahr hält so einiges für uns bereit. Doch die spektakulärsten Himmelsphänomene sind die, die wir nicht sehen können. Zum Beispiel die etwa 40 Milliarden potenziell bewohnbaren Exoplaneten in unserer Milchstraße oder die mysteriöse Dunkle Materie, aus der der Großteil unseres Universums zu bestehen scheint. Die Astronomin Ruth Grützbauch, Mitglied der Science Busters, hat einen vollkommen anderen Führer durch das Himmelsjahr geschrieben

Although the Sumerians continue to get second or even third billing compared to the Babylonians and Assyrians, perhaps because they never built an empire as great as the Assyrians or established a city as enduring and great as Babylon, they were the people who provided the template of civilization that all later Mesopotamians built upon. The Sumerians are credited with being the first people to invent writing, libraries, cities, and schools in, and many would argue that they were the first people to create and do those things anywhere in world.
