Emptied Heaven, Yucatán, Present Day, Urban Fantasy, Dark Fairy Tale

The World Emptied Heaven Present day. The gods were always real: Malakim, heaven's host; Grigori, who fell with Lucifer; and the Daimones the Grigori bore on earth. Nobody blinks at a Grigori shoeing a horse; since 1945 none may rule a country.

Since about AD 30, a slain celestial stays dead. Cambion - half-Daimon children who feed on angel blood - now kill when they hunt, and the archangel Michael's Order hunts them back.
