Born from the ashes of The Great War, Ethedis shines as a beacon of progress in the pursuit of perfection for all beings. Raiden Achlys doesn't believe so. Angels rule this world, and everyone else falls to the wayside, especially those like him: witches. However, he refuses to allow that to stop his desire to discover the world outside his small farm. That is, until he makes a fatal mistake that binds his soul to a suicide mission to find the first Archangel. He must fulfill this prophecy to stop the spread of a biological weapon that hasn't existed since The Great War, and he'd be a fool to make the journey alone. A captain who bears the scars on his heart of gold An inventor who may pioneer a dangerous future An Arachne assassin with very little to lose A shapeshifter estranged from a past he can't remember A powerful angelic heir with a scorching curse A man who doesn't know what he is, in search of answers Together, they will learn the true cost of power and the horrifying knowledge of what others did to get it.
