Befriended by the celestial being called Death as a child-- and betrayed as an adult-- a former FBI agent awakens to a world in ruin, but does not suffer its effects long. Transported to the land of Atlas, she is soon tasked with preventing a coup against the supreme realm's Grand Council, and preventing an ancient evil from destroying the pinnacle of Creation, along with all living things it governs. The third volume in the Book of Death series sees the return of prodigal investigator Ramona Knox -- only this time, the city through which her pursuit runs is not Washington D.C., but an epic fantasy world where old enemies become allies, angels battle winged monsters and a resentful, banished god lies in wait for the end of existence. The path into darkness is lined with a thousand blinding lights.
