1 | Book Two of the [[DarthWiki/AngelicCrisisSaga Angelic Crisis Saga]]. Vayne Shirewood, ruler of a budding empire, returns home from war in a distant part of the world. A year later, a terrible illness strikes his country, killing those with magical blood. Unfortunately, this includes his wife, whose death almost destroys him. Driven by grief, he tries resurrecting her. This backfires, horribly. |

3 | On the verge of death, Vayne is forced into a deal with the Angel of Chaos, [[ChaoticEvil Katosiel]], and to do whatever bidding the angel wants him to do. For Vayne, and his planet, this means the destruction of the magic that flows through the world. [[BrokenAce Vayne]] is more than happy to oblige. |

5 | However, Vayne's [[TheFairFolk mysterious friend]] Qin just might have other plans. [[YourTerroristsAreOurFreedomFighters Toss a budding rebellion]] [[RagtagBunchOfMisfits into the mix]], and things really start to hit the fan. |
