Arch forces, led by a battle-weary Michael, find that they are outmatched by the hybrid threat Imperial as they must adhere to an archaic unbreakable rule. With no means to intercede, an enhanced mortal warrior is commissioned. Not since Samson has a mortal been given such power to end the abomination and set prophecy back on track. Jericho Bane is given the strength of a deity to put right the corruption that Lucien Arcane has set loose. From America to the Middle East, to the Heavens itself and back, Jericho will learn love; sacrifice, betrayal, and loss while keeping the one rule of no sexual intercourse, lest he'll lose his power. Under the instruction and tutelage of the only female Archangel, Gabriel, he will persevere toward the inevitable meeting of Imperial culminating in a final battle for existence itself. Jericho's Journey will settle the question for all time... did God lie?
