There is war in Heaven. Hot war, not cold. Dirty, total and absolute, like the war that Lucifer brought when the worlds were young. But this time the Fallen One fights on Heaven's side. A new host, born of Lilith, is on the march against the Silver City, and the Lightbringer must descend into his former realm to find an army willing to defend Its holy walls. But his powers are waning, and Hell has a new king - one who is not at all sympathetic to Lucifer's cause. As the chaos spreads across two creations, sinking the worlds into despair and bleeding the souls of humankind into the void, the champions of life make their last stand on the plain of Armageddon: a fallen angel, a demon and a human woman, set against the wolf of destruction and an army that cannot be numbered. And, it seems, against God - for God may already have decided that they should lose.
