With the Sefer Raziel in hand, Rachel races to escape with it before anyone discovers her. Hidden within the pages of the book are secrets that could destroy armies and reshape worlds—certainly enough to bring Rachel’s pursuers to their knees. Except she can’t read it. As Redeemers close in and escape from the planet’s surface restricted, Rachel has no choice but to trust someone who betrayed her—and hope she isn’t making an even worse mistake.

The awakened angels took no time in reasserting themselves as the dominant species in the universe. As galactic powers vie for control of the angels’ battleship, the angels show them how inferior human technology is. As Rachel Jordan looks on helplessly, furious angels take out their wrath on the sinful human empires that sprang up in their absence. The only ones spared the angel’s judgment? The Redeemers.

The Sefer Raziel led Rachel Jordan astray. Instead of answering all her questions, it posed infinitely more. Now at the helm of an ancient starship more advanced than anything humans can build, she’s at the center of an intergalactic controversy. Her government wants the ship. If Rachel were to hand it over, she’d be acclaimed as a hero.

Despite the best of intentions, Rachel Jordan has unleashed an apocalypse on the holy universe—possibly the apocalypse. As mankind faces the unforgiving judgment of the angels, she turns to every source she can think of for help. Even the unthinkable. The ancient Adversary that once nearly wiped out humanity is the only force ever known to have stood against the angels. By Rachel’s reasoning, that might make them humanity’s only allies worth having.

But not to hide. Rachel's only hope is a fabled lost book of the Codex, written by a rogue angel: the *Sefer Raziel*. Tracking the book to a desolate former prison world, she delves into the criminal underworld to ferret out its location.

Cedric The Brown is a wizard with a dark past. In an effort to make amends, he hides in plain sight among the residents of a space station he once nearly destroyed. Cut adrift by a bankrupt megacorp, the mobile mining station sets off to uncharted space in a desperate attempt to scrape by.

With Astral Prime in chaos, Kendra hatches a desperate attempt to use forbidden alien technology to bring her lover back from the dead. As the struggle for control of the station unfolds, her efforts go horribly awry and plunge everyone into a strange and unfamiliar universe. Stranded in a desolate sector of an unknown universe, the citizens of the station cling to hope and ration their supplies of food, water, and medical essentials. But what hope can there be for rescue when even they don't know where they are?

The galaxy is in a state of panic. A horror has been unleashed, and it's a threat to every inhabited planet. Luckily, it currently rampages across a sparsely populated part of the Black Ocean. But even that callous view only holds limited hope for the fortunate species whose worlds lay safer by virtue of distance. Sooner or later, someone is going to have to destroy it. Hiroko plays the role of diplomat. In the face of a threat to all species, she hopes to forge a multi-species alliance to combat the monster.

In the aftermath of the station's invasion, Hiroko tries to rally the survivors around a new religion: hers. Combining her knowledge of anthropology with her alien enlightenment, she hopes to bring the galaxy together in spiritual awakening. Meanwhile, Cedric delves into the origins of the stations attackers, seeking a deeper understanding of why they came in the first place. And while both of them are occupied down on the planet's surface, Roland Kane is poised to seize control of Astral Prime—to a chorus of cheers from the inhabitants.

Cedric has discovered the means to fight back, but the price is high. Not all species are capable of carrying out his methods. It's one thing asking ships and crews to fight; it's another to ask them to sacrifice themselves. And yet, the valiant ships of Earth Navy continue to do so. If only the rest of the galaxy were so brave. A dark plan unfolds to doom one universe to save another. And an old foe will have to decide where his loyalties lie: to his species, or to himself?
