Maximus - The Key to Heaven

Special Edition

One girl. One key. A fallen angel. Two worlds about to collide.

Cecelia White just wanted to start college, ace her classes, and maybe sneak into a few clubs with her fearless roommate Evie. Between late-night study sessions, open mic nights at Ray’s Cool Café, and a city that never sleeps, life was finally starting to feel like hers.

Until the visions began.
Until the Angel Key awakened.
And until Christoph Maximus walked into her world.

By day, Maximus runs a high-end restaurant and nightclub. By night, he’s something far more dangerous—a fallen archangel and leader of the Elite Wing, former protectors of the realm that exists just beyond the veil. When rumors surface that a lost relic of Heaven has resurfaced in his city, Maximus must act fast. If the Archdukes of Hell find it first, the consequences could tear the world apart.

He never expected the key to belong to a mortal girl.
Or for fate to bind their souls together.

Now, with ancient enemies closing in and forbidden magic rising, Cecelia must decide who she is, what she believes, and whether the love of an immortal is worth starting a war. Because in this city, nothing is as it seems—and some secrets were never meant to stay buried.

"Maximus and The Key to Heaven" is an electrifying blend of fantasy, romance, and adventure, promising an epic saga that will leave readers breathless. Dive into a world of celestial intrigue, where love and courage are the ultimate weapons against the forces of darkness. Get ready for a rollercoaster ride of emotions and excitement-this is a story you won't be able to put down.

About Me

Meet the author

I’m Christopher M. Shamoun, but you can call me Christoph.

What fuels my creativity, you ask?
I’m a lifelong martial artist (Muay Thai & Jiu Jitsu) and a second degree black belt who still finds time to hop on a skateboard or strap on rollerblades. I’m a reader, writer, and lover of all things fantasy. I play guitar, mix cocktails like a mad scientist, and cook dishes that blend culture with comfort (sushi, tacos, and my signature vodka chicken parmigiana are always in rotation).

These passions, movement, music, food and stories are the energy that flow into my novels.

Fun Fact: Before I ever typed “Chapter One,” I was a sponsored rollerblader and a signed musician. Creativity has always been my oxygen.

I grew up in New Jersey, spent years in Brooklyn and now call Southern California home. Writing came into my life after losing my best friend, Erik, and it became the way I could keep our dreams alive. From that grief was born a world of angels, demons, found family, and epic adventures.

Favorite color: Deep red.

Current obsessions: Dreaming up new dishes & chasing the perfect sexy cocktail recipe.

Favorite escape: Anywhere with a good book and good company.

To date, I’ve written five books in my fantasy/ urban fantasy series (with more on the way). My stories are packed with action, music, mouthwatering cocktails and dishes, magic, and friendships that feel like family.

So here’s me. Christoph, an author who builds worlds by day and blends cocktails by night. Thanks for being here! Can't wait to share the next adventure with you.
