Ivan Isaacs, a former priest who now walks outside of God’s grace, walks a bloody path of revenge. When he was alive, he inadvertently freed the traitorous archangel Temozarela from imprisonment. Temozarela is still weak, but his 12 disciples are preparing sanctuary for their lord that will usher in an era of blood and terror. Now Ivan walks the thin line between hope and damnation, seeking out each of the disciples and eventually Temozarela himself. Ivan has already defeated the first minion, but that was like Sunday school compared to his next foe. A former angel driven mad by centuries of exile from providence, Achmode has been creating a twisted mockery of heaven in his domain. Flanked by angels of his own design, Achmode is a fearsome foe indeed...
