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.

Who is Judas?

Most of us long to "Be" but when the path gets too costly, or steep, we take solace in what we "Have." Remove the trappings of what we own and then what is the sum of us? They were the survivors, abandoned by the allies who swore to protect, in the ultimate gesture of greed and betrayal. Their world plunged into annihilation and chaos. With the passage of years in this blighted landscape order was established anew. Those who had been anonymous before the war found their will to rule, those who had experienced the comforts and ease of western life, thrust into darkness and despair. This brutal conflict had awoken those long sleeping, those who had ceased to care, those of immense power, the ones entrusted with the safe keeping of the often volatile mankind. Although their parallel world too was at risk, lethargy and arrogance ruled them. Against the backdrop of this savage landscape the saga of three such tribes of survivors unfold, and the unwitting chosen among them. One tribe sought to prosper via savagery, one by organized military might, and the other who ruled with no more than fairness and love. Three tribes thrown together, competing for the limited resources to survive, in a world teetering on the brink of total decimation. Driven by human avarice.
