Most everyone knows who the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse are. But do you really know who they are? How do they get around? Motorcycles, obviously. What’s their pastime? Singing karaoke with boy-band swagger. Oh, and don’t forget those wayfarer sunglasses. Going out in style is the only way to live, and Armageddon is right around the corner.

Every few hundred years, the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse are born into human bodies to fight in a battle. In their past lives, they have always died in these battles. When they finally win their war, they will trigger the end of the world.

The Deceivers—powerful shapeshifting demons who embody the Cardinal Sins—have roamed Earth since the beginning of time. The Deceivers are hellbent on making the Four Horsemen fall to change the outcome of Armageddon. If the Horsemen win their war without falling from grace, Heaven reigns in the Final Battle of Armageddon, but if the Horsemen fall, Hell reigns eternal.

These are the truths that newfound friends, Venatrix, Orion, Corvun, and Jayren face. As students in an academy dedicated to angels—unbeknownst to humans—good grades and internship essays are the least of their concerns. Orion—the son of an angel and demon—is powerful and dangerous, but he is not strong enough to protect himself from the terrors of his home life. When Ventrix learns that Orion is abused by his Deceiver father, she vows to help Orion banish his father back to hell.

Meanwhile, Corvun and Jayren become tangled in a blacklisted organization of immortal assassins with no easy way out. There, they make ties with the Angel of Death and help her hide from the Deceiver hunting her, in hopes that she might be the key to unlocking their true potential.

In order to survive, the four friends will have to come to terms with their heritage, power, and the balance of good and evil. The fate of the world hangs in the balance.
