🎯 Where Should I Start?
ⓘ About M.R. Forbes
“Balance” is the first novel in the “Divine” series and was released in 2013. Hell and Heaven are battling for the fate of billions, and these billions have got nobody left to fight for them. Until now. His name is Landon Hamilton, and he’s an identity thief, hacker, and ex-con. So he’s made some mistakes, yet he’s just a regular guy that is attempting to get by in this strange world. Except for one minor thing: he’s already dead. This world really is crazy, huh? He got caught in the middle of the war between good and evil (yep, an actual real thing), killed and then sent on his merry way down. Landon didn’t make it all the way, however. He got intercepted by Dante (yep, that Dante). It appears he had other things in store for Landon.
