Plot

In Cantica I: Paradise lost: On the trail of the murdering archangel Abaddon, the Cherubs get stuck in the mind-numbing mediocrity of Limbo - but not for long. They escape and make it to New York City where, looking for signs and portents, they foil a mugging and are befriended by Mary, a sexy 'exotic dancer'. But she has a problem: her boss is Frankie Dracula and his vampire minions are out to kill her!

In Cantica II: Hell On Earth Mary and the Cherubs are drawn into a battle with the massed forces of the Hell whilst attempting to foil Abbadon's plans to instigate the apocalypse.
