K. Williams weaves a tale that will leave you questioning long held convictions about the human legends of Heaven and Hell. Are you ready to enter the gates of Zion and learn the truth? Captain Maiel is a duta warrior of Zion, a race of giant, winged guardians and chroniclers of the lesser souls. Maiel's assurances are shaken when she nearly loses a young human girl to the dark forces of Jahannam, the prison realm where the lowest beings reside. To avoid answering to the leaders of her world, Maiel seeks refuge on Earth, but she is pursued by a baron of Jahannam intent on destroying her. Can she be saved before time runs out? Or will she be sacrificed to secure the borders of Zion and to hide the lie her journey uncovers? With each step further into darkness, long held secrets are revealed and shadows rise from the past to challenge absolutes. ___________________________ Zion's leadership recognizes a plan to breach their defenses. They respond with two heroes to put an end to the war before it begins. Dominic must finally prove himself worthy of his ambitions and Gediel works in the shadows to unravel truth. Those left behind ask the questions they've long ignored-secrets that may destroy their world. Though they seem invincible, it appears the rescuers will never reach Maiel before she falls to the Baron, and he and the princes break the gates of Zion.
