For Gabriel and his small group their race from Afghanistan is nearing its end. However, darkness and fate will not give up so easily. Even though Gabriel cannot see what evil lurks around the next corner he knows that ultimately all great moments are born of sacrifice. Meanwhile, in the quiet reaches of the American Northwest, Detective James must solve a string of ritualistic murders before they kill again. His moral conviction driven to the edge of sanity by the brutality perpetrated on the innocent has given him a clear conscious to do what is necessary once he finds the perpetrators. Justice dances with revenge as the devil plays on. The cabal known as the Assembled moves closer to open domination of mankind as global chaos takes hold with the arrival of a demonic envoy. However, two compromising factors still linger. Gabriel Willis, and Othia Morgan must die. Their twisted faith to see the dark deed through will shred the very fabric of our reality. Humanities end is inevitable, only the hour of our demise is debatable.
