The world of Nephilites. A world that has always been around you, yet mysteriously veiled for reasons and by powers long forgotten. Nephilites, beings that are half human and half angel, are divided by the choice of Light or Shadow. Contact with the human race is forbidden except for a pilgrimage that is every Nephilite's right of passage into their gifted communities. They live in an uneasy truce (Treaty of Balance) that was formed by the two factions since the time the veil that separates the spiritual and physical world was torn in two. But when a past that had been carefully orchestrated to be forgotten is suddenly thrust into the forefront of the Nephilite existence, the powers of Light and Shadow are once again heralding the call to war. A powerful gift revealed, an ancient secret exposed, the world of Neph and men will once again collide in a way that has not been seen in recorded history.
