Once upon a time, Hell attacked Earth with one weapon and many hundreds of Dark Angels. Hell was soundly defeated, thanks to a dominant force led by an impressive warrior Righteous Soul and God’s massive Trust Angels.
It’s thousands of years later and Hell begins to rapidly deteriorate, Satan’s reign now endangered.
Once again, Hell arrives on Earth’s surface, this time seeking to establish Satan’s dominion alongside God, a radical proposition that shakes the very foundations of faith, challenging the status quo.
Globally shunned, Hell takes a more extreme approach, soon launching a much larger effort, armed with new weapons, the ultimate goal of taking Earth completely away from God.
This time, the valuable warrior Righteous Soul is absent, the result of a perceived betrayal by Heaven a long time ago.
The battle tests the limits of human faith, resolve and strength. The story masterfully weaves together the destinies of ordinary individuals caught in the crossfire, their lives inextricably linked within this cosmic horror. As war rages on, the lines between balance and extremity intensify, and the true nature of faith is revealed.
