Generations after Samaria is first settled, corruption threatens to destroy the colony, and the only hope of avoiding an Armageddon is the crowning of a new Archangel, Gabriel, who must first marry a mortal woman, Rachel, who has her own ideas about her life.

Tamar, a young woman who grew up in a cult under the harsh control of the Archangel Bael, risks her life and the lives of her comrades when she teams up with the angel Jared in an attempt to find the disc on which the legendary Archangel Alleluia recorded the truth about the god of Samaria.
