The world had survived not one apocalypse but two. Now, as monstrous apparitions infest the earth, the knights of the Crimson Crusade slay these beasts called Mara, and are the people's only hope in the face of a third armageddon. 

From Among the knights, eleven promising soldiers are chosen by the Apostles, the holy kings of the land, in order to be their personal escorts. Jericho , his cousin Baskara, and their friends Dahlia and Rastis are amongst some of the contenders that the Apostles have called to serve.

But among the apostles is a devil in disguise, one who will catalyze the word's descent, a harbinger of a third end.
