Eden's Last Hero - Inspired by the great Terry Pratchett's Discworld (Stories from Eden Book 1)

A rebellion in Heaven leaves Eden littered with the bodies of angels.

Michael, the Guardian Supreme Commander, calls for a hero to be brought from the Other Place with his memory intact, so that he retains the sneaky, cunning and underhand ways of Earth he will need to kill Lucid, the son of Lucifer – and end the rebellion.

They pick Dylan, a 22 year old layabout with a total disregard for authority.

So, not a good choice then.

Dylan's twin sister is kidnapped by Lucid for breeding and taken to his castle on the Dark Continent, so Dylan teams up with a wizard he calls Merlin and sets off to rescue her.

An old wizard, his sentient cat and an idiot against thousands of minotaurs, centaurs, monsters and demons. Well, that should work.

One look at his 'hero' and Michael sends Gabriel, The Angel of Death, to help in the quest, despite him being a psychopath with a tendency to smite anyone he doesn't like the look of.

On route to Lucid's castle, they pick up Fate's favourite daughter and a legendary mist dragon with amnesia. The odds aren't getting any better.
