HEAVEN’S MERCY Maria has flaunted her magic one time too many under the watch of the Church of Heaven, and for this she has paid dearly, as a strike by the archangel Michael’s spear leaves her hanging on to life by a thread.

They say that love conquers all, but will passionate pleas and a show of bravery from Maria’s friends be enough to sway the judgment of the heavens?
