An all-powerful prince of Hell is on his way. Who will rise up to stop him? Before leaving the Void, Lora commanded her sisters, to delay Levi’s return to the living world as long as possible. But even a horde of guardians cannot stop this prince of Hell from reaching his end-goal of wreaking havoc on humanity. With Levi’s imminent return looming over her, Lora traveled to the land of the living to protect it. Fortunately for Lora, the War Angel Academy has just opened and is the perfect place for her to train. At the academy, humans and the children of the War Angels come together to learn and prepare for a war that could reach the heights of Heaven itself one day. Among the humans at the academy, one boy in particular stands out to Lora—Kai Valeri. He’s an infuriating combination of a cocky lady’s man and withdrawn loner. But Lora has bigger problems than playing mind games with Kai. Someone at the academy has targeted her. And they aim to kill. Created to be a torturer of souls before Hell’s destruction, Lora isn’t afraid of this threat. Once she discovers who it is, they’ll wish they hadn’t messed with her because punishing sinners is what she was made for.

As Lora, Silas, and Cal frantically search the Void for their friends, they quickly discover that rescuing them will be much harder than they originally thought. Lora begins to doubt whether or not she truly wants to save Kai, but she can’t in good conscience abandon him in the Void to face Levi’s wrath alone. As one chapter of her story closes, a new one begins until tragedy strikes, causing Silas to question everything about his life, including his relationship with Lora.An unexpected turn of events brings Lora face to face with her guardian sisters. Their hatred for her forces Lora to realize that her window of opportunity to save them expired a long time ago. Even though it’s only been a few months since she left the Void, her sisters have lived under Levi’s tyrannical rule for over a millennium. Any chance she might have had to save them has all but vanished. They’ve become Levi’s henchmen and more than a few of them revel in their roles. To save their friends, Lora, Cal, and Silas return to the place where their adventures in the Void first the Black Castle. However, Levi won’t let them just waltz in and take what they want without a fight, and war rarely leaves everyone alive.

Are you willing to fight to keep the living world and Heaven safe from Levi and his army? While everyone prepares to answer this call to arms, life decides to throw in a few more twists and turns to make things even more complicated. As Lora and her friends try to recover from their adventure in the Void, new problems arise when Azrael is freed from his prison. He appoints Lora as humanity’s champion and tasks her with the responsibility of proving why he shouldn’t side with Levi in the upcoming war. After all, he and Levi are of like minds when it comes to their Father. Why shouldn’t he use his powers as the angel of death to wreak havoc on the living world and finally usurp God’s control over the universe? Even though the world is on the verge of collapse, Lora and Silas use what time they have left to explore their new connection to one another while preparing for a war that neither of them may survive. Lora may have the added burden of proving humanity’s worth to Azrael, but she also has a man who will stand by her side no matter what it might cost him. New threats endanger those who dare to attend the War Angel Academy, but every cadet understands what will happen to their loved ones if they fall to Levi’s army. War is coming. It’s time to stand up for what you believe in. It’s time to fight and be counted.
