ISHMAEL ABAJIAN was never supposed to be in Hell. He nearly escaped, too, before being betrayed by just about everyone. Now Heaven is noticing. The Doom Bell foretelling the coming of the Apocalypse tolls. And Lucifer Morningstar, more dangerous than ever with the cynical Riley Cyprus by his side, plots to steal the Unholy Relics of his fellow Fallen and declare rulership over Hell. However, dreams begin to turn in the minds of demons drawn to the ways of Ishmael. Dreams of what could be, even in a place dark and despairing. Xercist's tempter studies lead him to make an unexpected connection on Earth. Soldier Kantazsia's convictions are tested upon encountering an angel claiming to be Ishmael's guardian. And Ishmael must choose whether to pick up his staff once more. He didn't ask to be here. He didn't want to be a savior. Now that he is, he must decide once and for all what that means.
