Jadiel, rebel angel from the novel Mind Binder by Susan Nadathur

Meet the Characters of the Halls of Abaddon

JADIEL is a seventeen-year old spiritually delinquent angel who goes to the deepest, darkest places of himself and rebels against the strict rules and conservative attitudes of his guardians. Because of that rebellion, he is exiled to Abaddon—the notorious school for the fallen under the city of San Juan.

In the Halls of Abaddon, Jadiel finds the freedom he seeks. A superior student who has all the qualities that Headmaster Lucius admires—pride, creativity, strength, intelligence—he becomes one of the school’s most promising students. But will this star student become one of Lucius’s strongest allies … or his greatest enemy?

Kiriela, the heroine of The Halls of Abaddon

KIRIELA is a sixteen-year-old three quarter angel who is exiled to the Caribbean when she and Jadiel cause chaos in Heaven. She is Jadiel’s secret love interest. More careful and measured than he, she balances his passion with logic. While she is willing to experience all that humanity offers, she is not willing to give up her holy angel status–especially when that status is the only way to protect a human boy who has fallen into Lucius’s radar.

Dante, a character in the novel Mind Binder by Susan Nadathur

DANTE is a teenage rebel with treacherously good looks and an alluring but dangerous dark side. He is a magnet for the girls—all the wrong kinds of girls. Good looking girls with play dough morality seem always to find him. But, Dante wants to blow up his reality by falling in love with the right kind of girl—the one who can see him for who he really is.

Lucius, the villian in the novel Mind Binder by Susan Nadathur

LUCIUS is a ruthlessly cunning, mind blowingly intelligent, master of  psychological warfare. He is powerful, brutal, and cunning. But there’s a crack in the surface of his polished façade.

As Jadiel says of him, “The Lucius I once met as a boy was exciting. Creative and bold. A dark romantic rebel. One day when I was ten, my parents introduced me to him. From the moment I met him, I idolized him. I wanted to be like him. He was the ultimate poetic anti-hero. Stirring up rebellion. Planting new ideas into tired minds. It was all so insanely intellectual–until I came to the painful realization that there was no love or goodness in him.
