When Olivia Taylor-Jones found out she was not actually the adopted child of a privileged Chicago family but of a notorious pair of convicted serial killers, her life exploded. Running from the fall-out, she found a refuge in the secluded but oddly welcoming town of Cainsville, Illinois, but she couldn't resist trying to dig out the truth about her birth parents' crimes.

It isn't long before Thóra and her associate, Matthew Reich, uncover the deceased student's obsession with Iceland's grisly history of torture, execution, and witch hunts.

Harth has been the center of a great spiritual war since the archangel Dom'rel led a rebellion in Eternity many years before. Even the beings that predate the archangels—the Celestials—have taken part. Both have fallen from the Light's grace, leading to primordial conflicts, but humanity has been blessed with a number of heroic gifts. Many of those gifts have lain dormant for centuries, only to resurface now, at Harth's greatest time of need.

Rogue and wicked spiritual principalities are tearing Harth asunder, engulfing both land and people in a cataclysm of darkness. The Light's alliance takes shape in a war where evil rolls over itself in an endless power struggle, as entire civilizations are brought to hollow husks of their former glory. The beautiful cycle of death and rebirth plays out in spectacles of ancient might.
