Panic erupts in Los Angeles as bloodless corpses with a religious symbol carved into their flesh are discovered around the city. The main suspect? The Exorcist Killer. Dao-Ren knows the Exorcist Killer is not human and tasks himself with stopping the senseless murders. Yet he must protect Malayah "May" Vega at all costs as Judanites drag her into the secret war against Awakyns, the true myths behind vampires and guardian angels. May uncovers the catalyst for this ancient war. It deals with her progenitors, Mary Magdalene and Judas Iscariot, and their relationship with Jesus-all chronicled in the Bible.

The murders are only the beginning. Dao-Ren races against time to stop the Judanites from spreading the contagious X-virus, which has a 50% mortality rate, into the human population. This could shift the balance of power and usher in Armageddon. In the meantime, will Dao-Ren be able to safeguard May and find redemption for his past failures? Or will he once again fail to protect the ones he loves and embrace his desire for death?
