Am I correct in interpreting that the MC is a Fallen Angel that was somehow reincarnated as a mortal (a Misborn?), and somebody is trying to release an archangel named Abordast and that third of the angels that were supposedly punished for trying to sit the fence during the War of Rebellion?  Cause its an awesome premise :)

The whole novel deals with the idea of fallen angels and how might those that repent of their rebellion be able to return to heaven. Yes, Abordast is a Archangel who was the head of an angelic legion. He wasn't punished for fence sitting. He followed Lucifer, but his power rivaled Lucifer's too much, so Lucifer imprisoned him and his followers. I have other sections far more polished, but I will hold onto those for now. :-)

Took the words right out of my mouth! 

 I think this sounds real good so far, especially being a first draft! Sign me up if you will need any beta readers when the manuscript is finished!  ;D 8)

Ditto  :)

PilgrimDan:
Me too. I think you're definitely on to something here, Torv.

Torvaldr:
Okay, here is a teaser from the beginning.

I’m not supposed to be dead. At least that is what I keep telling myself. Someone made a really big mistake somewhere, because the last thing anyone should have wanted to do was kill me. You see I am far more dangerous when I’m dead. Not making sense to you? Well that is going to take a while to explain. But then, being dead I have all the time I need.
   I am an angel. Or I used to be. I made a very large mistake a few eons ago and listened to a fella named Lucifer. The next thing I know, I had a rather abrupt address change. Humans throughout history have made a rather big deal out of the “War in Heaven”. Believe me, it wasn’t as grand or dramatic as you might think. Once an angel has lost the Word, he isn’t nearly as tough as he was before. At least not compared to angels still in the Bosses’ good graces. Hey, I made a funny.
   Once those of us who were stupid enough, or deluded enough, made the decision to oppose the Will of the Word, it was pretty much a foregone conclusion. Michael and the rest just did the mopping up and we were gone.
   So we were cast out, or down, or choose your own adjective. What happened next may surprise some of you. As you already know quite a few set out to do what they could to make things miserable for mankind. That group blamed man for a lot of things. Much like a child who has been caught doing something wrong tries to blame someone else. So they spend their time corrupting those they can, trying to prove to the Word that they are not to blame, and should be allowed to come home. No big surprise that He isn’t buying it.
   Most of the rest not causing trouble are pretty much just sitting around feeling sorry for themselves. Wailing, moaning, and making a lot of noise. Believe me as bad as the first crowd is, the last thing you want to do, is somehow manage to grab the attention of one of these guys. They are just itching to take out their frustrations on anyone or anything. No plan. No restraint. Just mindless fury. It can get very messy.
