Amidst the divine conflict, three mortals—Novanska, a disillusioned theologian searching for divine justice; Sarah, a fearless activist fighting for humanity’s dignity; and Bob, a battle-hardened soldier seeking redemption—find themselves caught in the crossfire. As angels and demons subtly influence their lives, these mortals become unwitting pawns in a battle that tests their beliefs, courage, and humanity.
Guided by visions and encounters with celestial beings, Novanska, Sarah, and Bob must navigate a world teetering on the edge of chaos. Their choices ripple outward, influencing the course of the celestial war and forcing the angels and fallen to confront an uncomfortable truth: the strength of humanity lies in its freedom to choose, to love, and to question.
As Heaven and the abyss clash in a realm beyond mortal comprehension, Samael faces their greatest challenge—an uneasy alliance with Michael, Heaven’s steadfast protector, to confront the Creator.
