Lance Lawson is dead and a new being has been created as the Angelon. He is plunged into the eternal battle between good and evil as he tries to unravel the mystery of his murder, his strange new abilities and the truth behind what he is and where he comes from. Lance discovers there is more out there than heaven and hell to contend with as the mysterious Kafleena, the leader of the Neutrals, tries to aid him in his plight. Jesus himself seeks to recruit the Angelon as Hell smiles widely at the prospect of such a powerful ally. Many things lurk in the shadows and it is hard to tell friend from foe. Everyone wants his power and some crave his very soul. One thing's for sure, whatever way it turns out, blood will spill before the Angelon's revenge is satisfied.
