The Prince of Sloth once ordered Mason Albrecht to help awaken the alraune Florian, now one of the nephilim's fastest friends. With Florian fully empowered, Belphegor wants help with his gardening, of all things. Sloth's prime hell is famed for its carnivorous Crimson Gardens, frightening advances in hagriculture, and the comfiest California king-size bed in the universe.

But elements both infernal and celestial keep hampering Mason's working holiday. And the son of Samyaza has also piqued the interest of another vastly powerful entity... an archangel with a missing sword and an axe to grind.
