Traditional cosmology turns upside down in Angus Brownfields' fable about degrees of good and evil among humans. Told in multiple voices—human, angelic and demonic—An Angel at Satan's Ball begins when the Almighty bets Satan that His distinguished angel Ulysses can't be inveigled by his fallen son's craftiest hunter, Semyaza. As Semyaza attempts to bring down Ulysses by attacking his love, the human Sarafina, all must struggle between their own literal and figurative heavens and hells as they learn of fate, love and sacrifice.
