It is an age shrouded in mists and blood, a dispensation caught between the floodwaters of the deep and the firmament in heaven. The faithful angels of God wage war against their outcast aallen brethren, battling across creation for the souls of humanity. But all is not as it seems, neither in the shimmering halls of heaven nor in the shadowy depths of the underworld. Enemies of the white throne maneuver on both sides to sabotage creation, and only the heroes under Archangel Michael's command can stop them.

Though confined to the Earth with his one third, Satan's plans to founder humanity are in full force. Ever diligent in his quest to drown God's creation in the tears of its creator, the dragon will go to any lengths to ensure the destruction of this world in which he has been imprisoned. And ever stalwart against their foes' machinations, Alrak, Melphax, Michael, and Gabriel fight across the war-torn landscape of Earth to salvage humanity.

With Nuriel, Uriel, Arkadia and others by their side, the War for Souls becomes a bloody contest of wits and wills. In this evocative prequel to Grey Aegis, we step back in time to an Antediluvian Age scarred by the dark underbelly of godly love abused, of the abomination of lust, of idolatry and warfare in the face of heartbreaking rejection, and of the consequences of sin for those whose ambitions outweigh their humility. Sturm und Drang is a tragic tale of loss, of fear, and of the realization that love is a powerful blessing that can become one's darkest fear if the heart is left unguarded.
