Heaven has declared war. Monsters face extinction. And two friends stand against an army of angels.

Joshua Daugherty survived discovering he's a witch. He survived the hidden world of magic and monsters. He even survived meeting his vampire great aunt.

But surviving Archangel Michael's divine crusade? That's another matter entirely.

The war Joshua feared has begun.

Heaven's army descends with one mission: impose angelic rule and eradicate every monster who refuses to bow. Vampires, Nephilim, witches—anyone who stands against divine authority is marked for extinction. The world Joshua just discovered is already burning.

With Caleb, his necromancer best friend and chosen brother, Joshua stands at the center of an impossible war. They're outmatched, outgunned, and fighting for beings most humans don't even know exist. Two against heaven's might. It's madness. It's tilting at windmills.

But some battles demand to be fought, even when victory seems impossible.

As Joshua's power grows, so does the cost.

He's learning that magic isn't just about spells and strength—it's about sacrifice, choice, and what you're willing to lose to protect the people you love. Caleb's necromancy connects them to forces both ancient and dangerous. And the monsters they're protecting? They're not just fighting for survival—they're fighting for the right to exist.

Michael's crusade is relentless. Allies fall. The casualties mount. And Joshua must confront the hardest question of all: What is he willing to sacrifice to save a world that angels want to destroy?
