Skylar Viros and Eve Telsin are the best of friends. Perhaps they are destined for more, but when a storm's flood waters devastate their city it claims more than just homes. Sky is lost in its wake. But death was not fated for such a boy. Transformed, Sky awakens to a world beyond his wildest imagination, abducted into a war between factions shrouded from society. Promised he could return to his old life if he helps, Sky sets off to aid ancient, angel-like warriors to fight a foe far crueler and cunning than he could imagine. But when Sky learns that Eve is a powerful tool, apprehended by the opposing side, he must make a bitter decision. Stand down and watch as she becomes a catalyst to the rapture, or fight and lose every reason to return home.
