Having secured the hand of the Devil's daughter for mutual gain, the mage, Draco, enjoys the luxury afforded by their arrangement in exchange for his loyal service to the underworld. However, his sins catch up to him, and an enigmatic angel has him spirited away for judgment. With Lascivus out of action, it falls to their children, Cicula and Lach, to rescue their father before the angel can pass judgement. The millennium of stagnation is coming to an end, and trust has reached an all-time scarcity as the end of times lurches unstoppably over the horizon. The pieces on the board show their true nature as revelations tear apart everything the supernatural worlds have taken for granted. Long-dead phantoms return, new allegiances arise and unheard of existences threaten to tip the scales toward absolute destruction or eternal tyranny. For Draco and his new family, everything comes under assault by the times that refuse to remain unchanged any longer.
