War is certain if not imminent. The Darkness is growing stronger. Yet Light prevails in a post-rapture and post-apocalyptic world. Emma is a White-Light whose gifts make her unique while putting her in grave danger. When in a moment born of desperation, Emma kills the Shadow-Land's premier military strategist, the secret of her identity as the killer is born. If the truth is revealed, Emma's life is in far greater danger, than just being a White-Light.

Having learned of a possible attack upon the Children of Light, the Light-Warriors are scrambling to determine the validity and timing of such an attack, in hopes of preventing it. Can Kaiden do both, protect Emma, his Light-Partner and soon-to-be wife, and prevent the attack? God is at work when two unlikely heroes come to the Light Bearers' aid, and the odds of their success improve.

Meanwhile in the Shadow-Lands... Hate is a powerful tool and a dangerous weapon that leads to disaster, yet, it is all Nestor has and clings to. He sees Emma as his one resource to attain the greatness he desires and the instrument of his revenge. For the Master, fear is one weapon that he wields without mercy. Yet, he lives in its grip. He has foreseen his death, but he believes he knows how to prevent it. All he needs is a White-Light to protect him. He must have her at all costs.

As the world is on course for another war, most people are oblivious to the threat. Can Emma, Kaiden, and the Light team, along with their compatriots prevent the war, or in failing will they sentence the Children of Light to death?
